For in-network providers: $2,000/individual - employee only or $4,000/family maximum For out-of-network providers: $4,000/individual - employee only or $8,000/family maximum Combined medical/behavioral and pharmacy deductible Deductible per individual applies when the employee is the only individual covered under the plan. Amount your employer contributes to your account: Up to $250/individual or $500/family
Generally, you must pay all of the costs from providers up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay. If you have other family members on the policy, the overall family deductible must be met before the plan begins to pay.
What is the overall deductible?
This plan covers some items and services even if you haven’t yet met the deductible amount. But a copayment or coinsurance may apply. For example, this plan covers certain preventive services without cost-sharing and before you meet your deductible. See a list of covered preventive services at https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits/. You don't have to meet deductibles for specific services. The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay in a year for covered services. If you have other family members in this plan, they have to meet their own out-of-pocket limits until the overall family out-of-pocket limit has been met.
Are there services covered before you meet your deductible?
Yes. In-network preventive care & immunizations, in-network preventive drugs.
Are there other deductibles for specific services?
No.
For in-network providers: $5,000/individual - employee only or $10,000/family maximum (no more than $6,900 per individual - within a family) For out-of-network providers: $10,000/individual - employee only or $20,000/family maximum (no more than $13,800 per individual - within a family) Combined medical/behavioral and pharmacy out-of-pocket limit Penalties for failure to obtain pre-authorization for services, certain drug coupon amounts, premiums, balance-billing charges, and health care this plan doesn’t cover.
What is the out-of-pocket limit for this plan?
What is not included in the out-of-pocket limit?
Even though you pay these expenses, they don't count toward the out-of-pocket limit.

Important Questions
Answers
Why This Matters:
This plan uses a provider network. You will pay less if you use a provider in the plan’s network. You will pay the most if you use an out-of-network provider, and you might receive a bill from a provider for the difference between the provider’s charge and what your plan pays (balance billing). Be aware your network provider might use an out-of-network provider for some services (such as lab work). Check with your provider before you get services. You can see the specialist you choose without a referral.
Will you pay less if you use a network provider?
Yes. See www.cigna.com or call 1-800-Cigna24 for a list of network providers.
Do you need a referral to see a specialist?
No.
All copayment and coinsurance costs shown in this chart are after your deductible has been met, if a deductible applies. What You Will Pay Common Medical Event Services You May Need In-Network Provider (You will pay the least) Out-of-Network Provider (You will pay the most)
