This is only a summary. If you want more detail about your coverage and costs, you can get the complete terms in the policy or plan document
at www.carefirst.com or by calling 1-855-258-6518. Important Questions What is the overall deductible? Are there other deductibles for specific services? Is there an outofpocket limit on my expenses? What is not included in the outofpocket limit? Is there an overall annual limit on what the plan pays? Does this plan use a network of providers? Do I need a referral to see a specialist? Are there services this plan doesnt cover? Answers For participating providers $2,700 person/ $5,400 family For non-participating providers $5,400 person/ $10,800 family No. Yes. For participating providers $3,200 person/ $6,400 family For non-participating providers $6,400 person/ $12,800 family Premiums, balance-billed charges, and health care this plan doesn't cover. No. Yes. For a list of preferred providers, see www.carefirst.com or call 1-855-258-6518. No. Yes. Why this Matters: You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for covered services you use. Check your policy or plan document to see when the deductible starts over (usually, but not always, January 1st). See the chart starting on page 2 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible. You dont have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on page 2 for other costs for services this plan covers. The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually one year) for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you plan for health care expenses. Even though you pay these expenses, they dont count toward the out-of-pocket limit. The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay for specific covered services, such as office visits. If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all of the costs of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use an out-of-network provider for some services. Plans use the term in-network, preferred, or participating for providers in their network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this plan pays different kinds of providers. You can see the specialist you choose without permission from this plan. Some of the services this plan doesnt cover are listed on page 6. See your policy or plan document for additional information about excluded services.

Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service. Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if the plans
allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if you havent met your deductible. The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the allowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay and the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.) This plan may encourage you to use participating providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts.

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:


What are some of the assumptions behind the Coverage Examples?
Costs dont include premiums. Sample care costs are based on national averages supplied by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and arent specific to a particular geographic area or health plan. The patients condition was not an excluded or preexisting condition. All services and treatments started and ended in the same coverage period. There are no other medical expenses for any member covered under this plan. Out-of-pocket expenses are based only on treating the condition in the example. The patient received all care from in-network providers. If the patient had received care from out-of-network providers, costs would have been higher.

What does a Coverage Example show?


For each treatment situation, the Coverage Example helps you see how deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance can add up. It also helps you see what expenses might be left up to you to pay because the service or treatment isnt covered or payment is limited.

you receive, the prices your providers charge, and the reimbursement your health plan allows.

Can I use Coverage Examples to compare plans?

Yes. When you look at the Summary of


Benefits and Coverage for other plans, youll find the same Coverage Examples. When you compare plans, check the Patient Pays box in each example. The smaller that number, the more coverage the plan provides.

Does the Coverage Example predict my own care needs?

No. Treatments shown are just examples.


The care you would receive for this condition could be different based on your doctors advice, your age, how serious your condition is, and many other factors.

Are there other costs I should consider when comparing plans?

Yes. An important cost is the premium you


pay. Generally, the lower your premium, the more youll pay in out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance. You should also consider contributions to accounts such as health savings accounts (HSAs), flexible spending arrangements (FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts (HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocket expenses.

Does the Coverage Example predict my future expenses?

No. Coverage Examples are not cost

estimators. You cant use the examples to estimate costs for an actual condition. They are for comparative purposes only. Your own costs will be different depending on the care Questions: If you are a member please call the number on your ID card or visit www.carefirst.com. Otherwise, please call 1-855-258-6518.
