Insurance Company 1: Plan Option 1 Coverage Period: 01/01/2013 – 12/31/2013 Summary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it Costs Coverage for: Individual + Spouse | Plan Type: PPO 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 plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if you haven’t 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.
