HDHP: How does it work? Before you meet your deductible After you reach your deductible You pay 20% of your health care expenses, including prescriptions BCBSNC pays the rest! • You pay 100% of your health care & prescription drug expenses (except generic preventive drugs which are covered at 100%) • Exception: In-network preventive care is covered at 100%, without paying your deductible first After you reach your out-of-pocket maximum of $3,000 employee tier/$6,000 all other tiers, BCBS pays 100% for the remainder of year.
Deductibles *A note about deductibles • If you enroll in the HDHP, your deductible depends on who you cover. • For employee-only coverage, you meet the individual deductible ($1,500 in-network). • If you enroll your spouse and/or children, you and your dependents meet the full family deductible ($3,000 in-network) before the plan shares in the cost of non-preventive care. • If you enroll in the PPO Plan, the deductible applies to each person you cover individually, so you do not have to meet the full family deductible before the plan begins sharing the cost.
