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 to the 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 • Member receives all services from in-network providers • = $1,200 per individual OOP limit. • ($400 deductible + $800 additional co-insurance expenses) • 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.
