If the Plan has a $1000 deductible, the Plan begins to pay after you have paid the first $1,000 for services in which the deductible is required. • Coinsurance: The percentage of a covered expense that you pay after the satisfaction of any applicable deductible. It is a defined percentage of the covered charges for services rendered. For example, the plan may pay for 70% of covered services and you pay 30%. • Co-pays (Co-payments): The fixed dollar amount you are required to pay each time a particular service is used. The co-pay does apply to your out-of-pocket maximum, but does not reduce amounts applied to the deductible or co-insurance. • Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum: The maximum amount of deductible and co-insurance during any plan year that you pay before the plan begins to pay 100% of covered expenses for the remainder of the plan year. • Flexible Spending Account:A medical care or dependent care spending account in which you put aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible expenses. • Centers of Excellence: Preferred places of care with the best outcomes, finest operational standings and best patient care.
