| Important Questions | Answers | Why this Matters: |
| What is the overall deductible ? | $1,000 Individual or $2,000 Family |
See the Common Medical Events chart below for your costs for services this plan covers. 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. |
| Are there services covered before you meet your deductible? | Yes. Primary Care, Specialty Care, Lab and Xray services, some Prescription Drugs, Urgent Care, Outpatient Mental Health, and Pediatric Dental and Vision are covered before the 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/ . |
| Are there other deductibles for specific services? |
No | You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services |
| What is the out-of-pocket limit for this plan? |
$8,700 Individual or $17,400 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? |
Premiums, balance-billed charges, and health care this plan doesn’t cover. | Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out-of-pocket limit. |
| Will you pay less if you use a network provider? | Yes. See https://brighthealthplan.com/provider-finder/ifp or call 1-855-827-4448 for a list of network providers. |
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. |
| Do you need a referral to see a specialist? |
Yes | This plan will pay some or all of the costs to see a specialist for covered services but only if you have a referral before you see the specialist. |
