Important Questions Answers
Why this Matters:
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 plan , each family member must meet their own individual deductible until the total amount of deductible expenses paid by all family members meets the overall family deductible . 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/.
What is the overall deductible?
$1,500 person / $3,000 family. Doesn't apply to In-Network preventive care.

About these Coverage Examples:
This is not a cost estimator. Treatments shown are just examples of how this plan might cover medical care.

Focus on the cost-sharing amounts (deductibles, copayments and coinsurance) and excluded services under the plan. Use this information to compare the portion of costs you might pay under different health plans. Please note these coverage examples are based on self-only coverage.

Important Questions Answers
Why this Matters:
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 plan , each family member must meet their own individual deductible until the total amount of deductible expenses paid by all family members meets the overall family deductible . 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/.
What is the overall deductible?
$6,000 person/ $12,000 family. Doesn't apply to In-Network preventive care.
Are there services covered before you meet your deductible? Are there other deductibles for specific services? What is the out-of-pocket limit for this plan?
Yes, preventive care.
No. There are no other specific deductibles . You don ’ t have to meet deductibles for specific services.
Deductible is $6,000 person / $12,000 family. Total out of pocket max is $6,350 person/ $12,700 family. Premiums , balance-billing charges, and health care this plan doesn ’ t cover. 20% non PPO penalty applies annually up to $2,000 person / $4,000 family.
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.
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 .
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.
Yes. See www.bcbsks.com /providerdirectory or call 1-800-432-3990 for a list of network providers .
Will you pay less if you use a network provider?
Do you need a referral to see a specialist?
specialist you choose without a referral .
No.
