1 The deductible and copay do not apply when adult or pediatric preventive care is performed according to the plan's schedule. If tests or lab work that are not on the plan's preventive care schedules are performed, the individual's portion of the cost will be applied to the deductible. For more information, see Preventive Health Care.
2 The deductible and out-of-pocket maximum are tracked separately for in- and out-of-network services under all plans. The annual out-of-pocket maximum includes deductible, copays, and coinsurance.
3 UCR = usual, customary, and reasonable charges the carrier has established for medical services. Out-of-network providers may bill you for their charges in excess of the UCR. Expenses in excess of the UCR do not count toward the out-of-pocket maximum.
4 Member coinsurance responsibility after the deductible is met.
