General Information

• Dental continues to be a part of the Medical Plan

• Your deductible accrual that started on January 1, 2010 will remain intact. In other words, plan members will not need to restart their deductible accumulations with the Oct. 1 onset of the Anthem plan.

• The healthcare plan will continue to operate on a calendar year. Deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums etc. will be calculated based on the calendar year.

Glossary of Terms• Co-pay – a flat dollar amount that is paid at the time of service. Co-pay

does not apply to the deductible

• Deductible – annual amount of money a member must pay before benefits are paid at the co-insurance % .

• Co-insurance – a percentage that a member pays for services received after they have met their deductible.

Member pays in full until deductible is met.

• Out-of- pocket limit – the most an employee would pay in deductible and co-insurance during a

plan year (Jan-Dec) for healthcare services excluding prescription drugs.

Services with a % = Co-insurance .

Services with a $ = Co-pay .

Deductibles and Out-of-Pocket Limit

Deductible The $400/$800 deductible simultaneously applies to both in and out-of-network services. In other words, there is not a separate deductible for out-of-network.

Out-of-Pocket Limit (“OOP”) There is a separate out-of-pocket limit for in-network and out-of-network co-insurance expenses.

Co-insurance costs for services received in-network only apply tothe in-network OOP. Co-insurance costs for services received out-of- network only apply to the out-of-network OOP.

In-network - $1,200/$2,000Out-of-network - $1,300/$2,200

Deductibles and Out-of-Pocket Limit

Three Possible Scenarios

Illustration: OOP costs based on an Individual Member

1. Member receives all services from in-network providers

= $1,200 per individual OOP limit. ($400 deductible + $800 additional co-insurance expenses)

2. Member receives all services from out-of-network provider

= $1,300 per individual OOP limit plus any balance billing. ($400 deductible + $900 additional co-insurance expenses…plus balance billing)

Deductibles and Out-of-Pocket Limit

3. Individual Member receives in-network AND out-of -network services.

Member must satisfy OOP limit under each benefit.

OOP limit = $1,200-$2,100 depending on the cost of the out-of-network service.

$1,200 in-network OOP limit plus the cost of the out-of-network service up to a maximum of $900 additional cost. Plus any balance billing.
