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, if theplan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is 1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be 200. This may change if youhaven’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 the allowedamount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges 1,500 for an overnight stay and the allowedamount 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.CommonMedical EventIf you visit a healthcare provider’s officeor clinicServices You May NeedYour Cost If YouUse anIn-networkProviderYour Cost IfYou Use anOut-ofnetworkProviderLimitations & ExceptionsPrimary care visit to treat an injury or illnessSpecialist visit 25.00 co-pay 40.00 co-payNot CoveredNot Covered------none-----------none------Other practitioner office visitPreventive care/screening/immunizationIf you have a testAcupuncture NotCoveredChiropractic 40.00co-payNo ChargeNot Covered------none------Not CoveredAdult Physical 1 Visit(s) per yearDiagnostic test (x-ray, blood work)X-Ray 40.00 copayLab Services NoChargeNot Covered------none------Imaging (CT/PET scans, MRIs) 40.00 co-payNot Covered------none------2 of 8
