· Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.
· Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, ifthe plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change ifyou haven’t met your deductible.
· The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than theallowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay andthe allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.)
· This plan may encourage you to use In-Network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:What are some of the assumptionsbehind the Coverage Examples?
· Costs don’t include premiums.
· Sample care costs are based on nationalaverages supplied by the U.S. Departmentof Health and Human Services, and aren’tspecific to a particular geographic area orhealth plan.
· The patient’s condition was not anexcluded or preexisting condition.
· All services and treatments started andended in the same coverage period.
· There are no other medical expenses forany member covered under this plan.
· Out-of-pocket expenses are based only ontreating the condition in the example.
· The patient received all care from in-network providers. If the patient hadreceived care from out-of-networkproviders, costs would have been higher.
What does a Coverage Exampleshow?For each treatment situation, the Coverage Examplehelps you see how deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance can add up. Italso helps you see what expenses might beleft up to you to pay because the service ortreatment isn’t covered or payment is limited.
Does the Coverage Example predictmy own care needs?
ûNo. Treatments shown are just examples.
The care you would receive for this conditioncould be different based on your doctor’sadvice, your age, how serious your conditionis, and many other factors.
Does the Coverage Example predictmy future expenses?
ûNo. Coverage Examples are not cost
estimators. You can’t use the examples toestimate costs for an actual condition.They are for comparative purposes only.Your own costs will be differentdepending on the care you receive, theprices your providers charge, and thereimbursement your health plan allows.
Can I use Coverage Examples tocompare plans?
üYes. When you look at the Summary of
Benefits and Coverage for other plans,you’ll find the same Coverage Examples.When you compare plans, check the“Patient Pays” box in each example. Thesmaller that number, the more coveragethe plan provides.
Are there other costs I shouldconsider when comparingplans?
üYes. An important cost is the premium
you pay. Generally, the lower yourpremium, the more you’ll pay in out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments,deductibles, and coinsurance. Youshould also consider contributions toaccounts such as health savings accounts(HSAs), flexible spending arrangements(FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts(HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocketexpenses.
