Key TermsCalendar Year Deductible: This is the amount that you are
responsible for paying each calendar year before your plan begins to make payment for most services you receive. The Calendar Year Deductible does not apply to/is waived for certain services (ie., office visits, preventive care services)
Out-of-Pocket Maximum: This is the maximum amount of Coinsurance that you will have to pay for services you receive during the calendar year. The following services do not apply toward the satisfacton of the Out-of-Pocket Maximum: Calendar Year Deductible, Copayments, and Amounts Not Allowed (Non-Participating Providers). After reaching the Out-of-Pocket Maximum, you are still responsible for paying Copayments (where applicable) and any Amounts Not Allowed.
Key Terms Copayment: A flat dollar amount that you are
responsible for paying for certain services (ie., office visits, physical therapy, chiropractic). The Calendar Year Deductible is waived for some services (ie., office visits). In addition to the copayment , you are also responsible for Coinsurance, where applicable.
Coinsurance: This is the percentage that you are responsible for paying for services you receive, after you have satisfied your Calendar Year Deductible (where applicable) and paid any applicable Copayment
Key TermsTotal Billed Amount: The amount billed by a provider for
services rendered
Patient Savings: For services rendered by a Participating Provider, this is the amount that is discounted from the providers Total Billed Amount. You are not responsible for this amount
Amount Not Allowed: For services rendered by a Non-Participating Provider, this is the difference between the provider’s Total Billed Amount, and Anthem’s allowed amount. You are responsible this amount when you receive services from a Non-Participating Provider.
