How do Claims Pay Towards OPX and Deductible in the New ACA World? • In 2014, the OPX could be more critical • to the average consumer than their deductible. 4 • Copays and Per-Occurrence Deductibles do not feed into the deductible • These costs go directly to the Out of Pocket Maximums (OPX) • All other eligible expenses go towards the annual deductible • Cost sharing feeds into the OPX • Includes Rx Copays • Includes Office and Hospital Copays • Includes Per-Occurrence Deductibles
How Do Per-Occurrence Deductibles Work? 5 *Example Only – Based on In-Network Level of Benefits • Per-Occurrence Deductible Includes: • Emergency Room • Inpatient Hospital Admission • Outpatient Surgery • When a Per-Occurrence Deductible Is Paid: • The amount is subtracted from the claim • The balance of the claim is subject to the annual deductible and coinsurance • The Per-Occurrence Deductible is credited towards the OPX
Family Deductible and OPX Summary • If one person meets the individual deductible, the remaining deductible can be met by the rest of the family members. • The one person that meets the individual deductible will start to receive benefits and the coinsurance will begin to be applied towards that person’s OPX. • If the one person that meets the individual deductible meets the individual OPX, he will receive 100% coverage even if the family deductible and OPX has not been met. • The remaining family members can contribute to the balance of the family OPX. • Once the family OPX is met, then all family members will receive 100% coverage. • One person cannot meet the entire family deductible and OPX. Once the deductible is met, coinsurance will be applied. 6
Copays • Office Visit copay will cover everything billed as part of office visit (if performed in the same office on the same day) • Exceptions: • Surgery • Physical, Occupational and Speech therapy • Chiropractic and Osteopathic manipulation • If services are performed in a separate office or facility and billed separately, then coinsurance and deductible apply • Mental Health and Substance Abuse will be covered the same as any medical service • Inpatient covered at the in-patient per admission rate • Outpatient covered at primary care provider (PCP) rate 8
