Medical
Medical coverage provides healthcare protection for you and your family. When utilizing an HMO you can visit only in-network doctors. Preventive care—such as physical exams, flu shots, and screenings—is covered at 100%. The main differences between plan options are the deductible and plan cost sharing, and how much you pay per paycheck.
Each plan has different:
- Annual deductible amounts – the amount you pay each year for eligible in-network charges before the plan begins to pay.
- Out-of-pocket maximums – the most you will pay each year for eligible network services and/or prescriptions. After you reach your out-of-pocket maximum, the plan picks up the full cost of covered medical care for the remainder of the year.
- Copays – A copay is a fixed amount you pay for a health care service. Copays do not count toward your deductible but do count toward your annual out-of-pocket maximum.
- Coinsurance – Once you’ve met your deductible, you and the plan share the cost of care, which is called coinsurance. For example, you pay 20% for services and the plan will pay 80% of the cost until you have reached your out-of-pocket maximum.
