Small Group <strong>HM</strong>O Coverage Period: Beginning on or after 08/01/2012Summary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it CostsCoverage for: Individual or Individual + Family | Plan Type: <strong>HM</strong>OThis is only a summary. If you want more detail about your coverage and costs, you can get the complete terms in the policy or plandocument at www.avmed.org. or by calling 1-800-376-6651.Important Questions AnswersWhat is the overalldeductible?Are there otherdeductibles for specificservices?Is there anout–of–pocket limit onmy expenses?What is not included inthe out–of–pocket limit?Is there an overall annuallimit on what the planpays?Does this plan use anetwork of providers?Do I need a referral to seea specialist?Are there services thisplan doesn’t cover?$1,500 individual / $4,500 familyDoesn't apply to preventive care.No.Yes. $1,500 individual/ $4,500 family.Premiums, deductibles, prescription drug costsharing, and services this plan doesn't cover.No.Yes. See www.avmed.org or call 1-800-376-6651for a list of participating providers.No. You do not need a referral to see a specialist.Yes.Why this Matters:You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this planbegins to pay for covered services you use. Check your policy or plandocument 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 forcovered services after you meet the deductible.You don't have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chartstarting on page 2 for other costs for services your 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 costs of covered services. This limithelps you plan for health care expenses.Even though you pay these expenses, they don't count toward the out-ofpocketlimit.The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay forspecific covered services, such as office visits.If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan willpay some or all of the costs of covered services. Be aware, your in-networkdoctor or hospital may use an out-of-network provider for some services.Plans use the term in-network, preferred, or participating for providers intheir network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this plan pays differentkinds of providers.You can see the specialist you choose without permission from this plan.Some of the services this plan doesn't cover are listed on page 5. See yourpolicy or plan document for additional information about excluded services.Questions: Call 1-800-376-6651 or visit us at www.avmed.org.

Small Group <strong>HM</strong>O Coverage Period: Beginning on or after 08/01/2012Summary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it CostsCoverage for: Individual or Individual + Family | Plan Type: <strong>HM</strong>O• 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, ifthe plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change ifyou 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 theallowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay andthe 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 <strong>AvMed</strong> Network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsuranceamounts.Common MedicalEventIf you visit a healthcare provider’s officeor clinicIf you have a testServices You May NeedPrimary care visit to treat aninjury or illnessYour Cost If You Usean <strong>AvMed</strong> NetworkProvider$25 copay/ visit Not CoveredSpecialist visit $50 copay/ visit Not CoveredOther practitioner office visitPreventive care/screening/immunizationDiagnostic test (x-ray, bloodwork)Imaging (CT/PET scans,MRIs)$25 copay/ visit for allergyinjections; $75 copay/course of allergy skintestingYour Cost IfYou Use anOut of NetworkLimitations & ExceptionsProviderAdditional charges will apply for non-preventiveservices performed in the physician's office.Additional charges will apply for non-preventiveservices performed in the physician's office.Not CoveredOffice visit cost sharing also applies.No Charge Not Covered ----------------------None----------------------$50 copay/ test afterdeductible; no charge forblood work at capitatedlabs$150 copay/ test afterdeductibleNot CoveredNot CoveredCharges for office visits will also apply if services areperformed in a physician's office.Charges for office visits will also apply if services areperformed in a physician's office.

Small Group <strong>HM</strong>O Coverage Period: Beginning on or after 08/01/2012Summary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it CostsQuestions and answers about the Coverage Examples:What are some of theassumptions behind theCoverage Examples?• Costs don’t include premiums.• Sample care costs are based on nationalaverages supplied by the U.S. Departmentof Health and Human Services, andaren’t specific to a particular geographicarea or health plan.• The patient’s condition was not anexcluded or preexisting condition.• All services and treatments started andended in the same coverage period.• There are no other medical expenses forany member covered under this plan.• Out-of-pocket expenses are based only ontreating the condition in the example.• The patient received all care from innetworkproviders. If the patient hadreceived care from out-of-networkproviders, costs would have been higher.What does a Coverage Exampleshow?For each treatment situation, the CoverageExample helps you see how deductibles,copayments, and coinsurance can add up. Italso helps you see what expenses might be leftup to you to pay because the service ortreatment isn’t covered or payment is limited.Does the Coverage Examplepredict my own care needs?û No. Treatments shown are just examples.The care you would receive for thiscondition could be different based onyour doctor’s advice, your age, howserious your condition is, and many otherfactors.Does the Coverage Examplepredict my future expenses?û No. Coverage Examples are not costestimators. You can’t use the examples toestimate costs for an actual condition.They are for comparative purposes only.Your own costs will be differentdepending on the care you receive, theprices your providers charge, and thereimbursement your health plan allows.Coverage for: Individual or Individual + Family | Plan Type: <strong>HM</strong>OCan I use Coverage Examplesto compare plans?ü Yes. When you look at the Summary ofBenefits and Coverage for other plans,you’ll find the same Coverage Examples.When you compare plans, check the“Patient Pays” box in each example. Thesmaller that number, the more coveragethe plan provides.Are there other costs I shouldconsider when comparingplans?ü Yes. An important cost is the premiumyou pay. Generally, the lower yourpremium, the more you’ll pay in out-ofpocketcosts, such as copayments,deductibles, and coinsurance. You shouldalso consider contributions to accountssuch as health savings accounts (HSAs),flexible spending arrangements (FSAs) orhealth reimbursement accounts (HRAs)that help you pay out-of-pocket expenses.Questions: Call 1-800-376-6651 or visit us at www.avmed.org.
