Generally you must pay all the costs up to the deductible amountbefore this plan begins to pay. If you have other family memberson the policy, they have to meet their own individual deductibleuntil the overall family deductible amount has been met.
Are there servicescovered before youmeet your deductible?
Yes. Preventive care, provider office visits,prescription drugs and routine eye exams are coveredbefore you meet your deductible.
This plan covers some items and services even if you haven’t yetmet the deductible amount. But, a copayment or coinsurancemay apply.
Are there otherdeductibles for specificservices?
No. You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services.
What is theout–of–pocket limitfor this plan?
$5,450 member / $10,900 familySeparate out-of-pocket limit applies to Pharmacy, see“If you need drugs to treat your illness or condition”.

Important Questions Answers Why this mattersWhat is not included inthe out–of–pocket limit?
Prescription drugs, premiums, balance-billingcharges, and health care this plan doesn’t cover.
Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count towardthe out–of–pocket limit.
Will you pay less if youuse a network provider?
Yes. See https://www.harvardpilgrim.org/public/find-a-provider or call 1-888-333-4742 for a list ofpreferred providers.
This plan uses a provider network. You will pay less if youuse a provider in the plan’s network. You will pay the most ifyou use an out-of-network provider, and you might receive abill from a provider for the difference between the provider’scharge and what your plan pays (balance-billing). Be aware,your network provider might use an out-of-network providerfor some services (such as lab work). Check with your providerbefore you get services.
Do you need a referral tosee a specialist?
Yes, some exceptions apply. This plan will pay some or all of the costs to see a specialistfor covered services but only if you have a referral before yousee the specialist.
All copayment and coinsurance cost shown in this chart are after your deductible has been met, if a deductible applies.
