Important Questions<br />
Answers<br />
Why this Matters:<br />
What is the overall<br />
deductible?<br />
In-Network and Out-of-<br />
Network: $300 person/$700<br />
family. Prescription drugs,<br />
durable medical equipment, TMJ,<br />
balance billing, excluded services<br />
do not count toward the<br />
deductible.<br />
You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for<br />
covered services you use. Check your policy or plan document to see when the deductible<br />
starts over (usually, but not always, January 1st). See the chart starting on page 2 for how<br />
much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible.<br />
Are there other<br />
deductibles for specific<br />
services?<br />
Is there an out-ofpocket<br />
limit on my<br />
expenses?<br />
No.<br />
Yes. In-Network and Out-of-<br />
Network Medical: $2,500<br />
person/$6,000 family; In-<br />
Network Prescription Drugs:<br />
$2,000 person/$4,000 family;<br />
Out-of-Network Prescription<br />
Drugs: $4,000 person/$8,000<br />
family.<br />
You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on page 2<br />
for other costs for services this plan covers.<br />
The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually one<br />
year) for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you plan for health care<br />
expenses.<br />
What is not included in<br />
the out-of-pocket<br />
limit?<br />
Self-payments, balance billing,<br />
health care this plan does not<br />
cover, Family Supplemental<br />
Benefit charges.<br />
Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out-of-pocket limit.<br />
Is there an overall<br />
annual limit on what the<br />
plan pays?<br />
No.<br />
The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay for specific covered<br />
services, such as office visits.<br />

Important Questions Answers Why this Matters:<br />
Does this plan use a<br />
network of providers?<br />
Do I need a referral to see<br />
a specialist?<br />
Are there services this<br />
plan doesn’t cover?<br />
Yes. For a list of in-network<br />
providers, call 1-800-810-2583.<br />
Yes. You need a referral to see<br />
an acupuncture specialist.<br />
Yes.<br />
If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all<br />
of the costs of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use an<br />
out-of-network provider for some services. Plans use the term in-network, preferred, or<br />
participating for providers in their network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this<br />
plan pays different kinds of providers.<br />
This plan will pay some or all of the costs to see a specialist for covered services but only if<br />
you have the plan’s permission before you see the specialist.<br />
Some of the services this plan doesn’t cover are listed on page 6. See your policy or plan<br />
document for additional information about excluded services.<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
Co-payments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.<br />
Co-insurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if<br />
the plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your co-insurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if<br />
you haven’t met your deductible.<br />
The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the<br />
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<br />
the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.)<br />
This plan may encourage you to use in-network providers by charging you lower deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance amounts.<br />

Your Rights to Continue Coverage:<br />
If you lose coverage under the plan, then, depending upon the circumstances, Federal and State laws may provide protections that allow you to keep health<br />
coverage. Any such rights may be limited in duration and will require you to pay a premium, which may be significantly higher than the premium you pay<br />
while covered under the plan. Other limitations on your rights to continue coverage may also apply.<br />
For more information on your rights to continue coverage, contact the plan at 1-708-482-7300. You may also contact your state insurance department, the<br />
U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration at 1-866-444-3272 or www.dol.gov/ebsa, or the U.S. Department of Health and<br />
Human Services at 1-877-267-2323 x61565 or www.cciio.cms.gov.<br />

Does this Coverage Provide Minimum Essential Coverage?<br />
The Affordable Care Act requires most people to have health care coverage that qualifies as “minimum essential coverage.” This plan or policy does<br />
provide minimum essential coverage.<br />
Does this Coverage Meet the Minimum Value Standard?<br />
The Affordable Care Act establishes a minimum value standard of benefits of a health plan. The minimum value standard is 60% (actuarial value). This<br />
health coverage does meet the minimum value standard for the benefits it provides.<br />

About these Coverage<br />
Examples:<br />
These examples show how this plan might cover<br />
medical care in given situations. Use these<br />
examples to see, in general, how much financial<br />
protection a sample patient might get if they are<br />
covered under different plans.<br />
This is<br />
not a cost<br />
estimator.<br />
Don’t use these examples to<br />
estimate your actual costs<br />
under this plan. The actual<br />
care you receive will be<br />
different from these examples,<br />
and the cost of that care will<br />
also be different.<br />

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:<br />
What are some of the<br />
assumptions behind the<br />
Coverage Examples?<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
Costs don’t include premiums.<br />
Sample care costs are based on national<br />
averages supplied by the U.S.<br />
Department of Health and Human<br />
Services, and aren’t specific to a<br />
particular geographic area or health<br />
plan.<br />
The patient’s condition was not an<br />
excluded or preexisting condition.<br />
All services and treatments started and<br />
ended in the same coverage period.<br />
There are no other medical expenses for<br />
any member covered under this plan.<br />
Out-of-pocket expenses are based only<br />
on treating the condition in the example.<br />
The patient received all care from innetwork<br />
providers. If the patient had<br />
received care from out-of-network<br />
providers, costs would have been<br />
higher.<br />
What does a Coverage Example<br />
show?<br />
For each treatment situation, the Coverage<br />
Example helps you see how deductibles, copayments,<br />
and co-insurance can add up. It<br />
also helps you see what expenses might be left<br />
up to you to pay because the service or<br />
treatment isn’t covered or payment is limited.<br />
Does the Coverage Example<br />
predict my own care needs?<br />
No. Treatments shown are just examples.<br />
The care you would receive for this<br />
condition could be different based on your<br />
doctor’s advice, your age, how serious your<br />
condition is, and many other factors.<br />
Does the Coverage Example<br />
predict my future expenses?<br />
No. Coverage Examples are not cost<br />
estimators. You can’t use the examples to<br />
estimate costs for an actual condition. They<br />
are for comparative purposes only. Your<br />
own costs will be different depending on<br />
the care you receive, the prices your<br />
providers charge, and the reimbursement<br />
your health plan allows.<br />
Can I use Coverage Examples to<br />
compare plans?<br />
Yes. When you look at the Summary of<br />
Benefits and Coverage for other plans,<br />
you’ll find the same Coverage Examples.<br />
When you compare plans, check the<br />
“Patient Pays” box in each example. The<br />
smaller that number, the more coverage<br />
the plan provides.<br />
Are there other costs I should<br />
consider when comparing<br />
plans?<br />
<br />
Yes. An important cost is the premium<br />
you pay. Generally, the lower your<br />
premium, the more you’ll pay in out-ofpocket<br />
costs, such as co-payments,<br />
deductibles, and co-insurance. You<br />
should also consider contributions to<br />
accounts such as health savings accounts<br />
(HSAs), flexible spending arrangements<br />
(FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts<br />
(HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocket<br />
expenses.<br />

You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay<br />
for covered services you use. Check your policy or plan document to see when the<br />
deductible starts over (usually, but not always, January 1st). See the chart starting on<br />
page 2 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible.<br />
Are there other<br />

Is there an out-ofpocket<br />
limit on my<br />
expenses?<br />
What is not included in<br />

care this plan does not cover, Family<br />
Supplemental Benefit charges.<br />
You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on<br />
page 2 for other costs for services this plan covers.<br />
The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually<br />
one year) for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you plan for<br />
health care expenses.<br />
Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out-of-pocket limit.<br />
Is there an overall<br />
annual limit on what the<br />
plan pays?<br />
No.<br />
The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay for specific<br />
covered services, such as office visits.<br />

Co-payments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.<br />
Co-insurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if<br />
the plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your co-insurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if<br />
you haven’t met your deductible.<br />
The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the<br />
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<br />
the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.)<br />
This plan may encourage you to use in-network providers by charging you lower deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance amounts.<br />

Your Rights to Continue Coverage:<br />
If you lose coverage under the plan, then, depending upon the circumstances, Federal and State laws may provide protections that allow you to keep health<br />
coverage. Any such rights may be limited in duration and will require you to pay a premium, which may be significantly higher than the premium you pay<br />
while covered under the plan. Other limitations on your rights to continue coverage may also apply.<br />
For more information on your rights to continue coverage, contact the plan at 1-708-482-7300. You may also contact your state insurance department, the<br />
U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration at 1-866-444-3272 or www.dol.gov/ebsa, or the U.S. Department of Health and<br />

Does this Coverage Provide Minimum Essential Coverage?<br />
The Affordable Care Act requires most people to have health care coverage that qualifies as “minimum essential coverage.” This plan or policy does<br />
provide minimum essential coverage.<br />
Does this Coverage Meet the Minimum Value Standard?<br />
The Affordable Care Act establishes a minimum value standard of benefits of a health plan. The minimum value standard is 60% (actuarial value). This<br />
health coverage does meet the minimum value standard for the benefits it provides.<br />

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:<br />
What are some of the<br />
assumptions behind the<br />
Coverage Examples?<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
Costs don’t include premiums.<br />
Sample care costs are based on national<br />
averages supplied by the U.S.<br />
Department of Health and Human<br />
Services, and aren’t specific to a<br />
particular geographic area or health<br />
plan.<br />
The patient’s condition was not an<br />
excluded or preexisting condition.<br />
All services and treatments started and<br />
ended in the same coverage period.<br />
There are no other medical expenses for<br />
any member covered under this plan.<br />
Out-of-pocket expenses are based only<br />
on treating the condition in the example.<br />
The patient received all care from innetwork<br />
providers. If the patient had<br />
received care from out-of-network<br />
providers, costs would have been<br />
higher.<br />
What does a Coverage Example<br />
show?<br />
For each treatment situation, the Coverage<br />
Example helps you see how deductibles, copayments,<br />
and co-insurance can add up. It<br />
also helps you see what expenses might be left<br />
up to you to pay because the service or<br />
treatment isn’t covered or payment is limited.<br />
Does the Coverage Example<br />
predict my own care needs?<br />
No. Treatments shown are just examples.<br />
The care you would receive for this<br />
condition could be different based on your<br />
doctor’s advice, your age, how serious your<br />
condition is, and many other factors.<br />
Does the Coverage Example<br />
predict my future expenses?<br />
No. Coverage Examples are not cost<br />
estimators. You can’t use the examples to<br />
estimate costs for an actual condition. They<br />
are for comparative purposes only. Your<br />
own costs will be different depending on<br />
the care you receive, the prices your<br />
providers charge, and the reimbursement<br />
your health plan allows.<br />
Can I use Coverage Examples to<br />
compare plans?<br />
Yes. When you look at the Summary of<br />
Benefits and Coverage for other plans,<br />
you’ll find the same Coverage Examples.<br />
When you compare plans, check the<br />
“Patient Pays” box in each example. The<br />
smaller that number, the more coverage<br />
the plan provides.<br />
Are there other costs I should<br />
consider when comparing<br />
plans?<br />
<br />
Yes. An important cost is the premium<br />
you pay. Generally, the lower your<br />
premium, the more you’ll pay in out-ofpocket<br />
costs, such as co-payments,<br />
deductibles, and co-insurance. You<br />
should also consider contributions to<br />
accounts such as health savings accounts<br />
(HSAs), flexible spending arrangements<br />
(FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts<br />
(HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocket<br />
expenses.<br />

Important Questions<br />
What is the overall<br />
deductible?<br />
Are there other<br />
deductibles for specific<br />
services?<br />
Answers<br />
No deductible.<br />
No.<br />
Why this Matters:<br />
See the chart starting on page 2 for your costs for services this plan covers.<br />
You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on page 2<br />
for other costs for services this plan covers.<br />
Is there an out-ofpocket<br />
limit on my<br />
expenses?<br />
Yes. In-Network Medical:<br />
$4,000 person/$10,000 family;<br />
In-Network Prescription Drugs:<br />
$2,000 person/$3,200 family<br />
The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually one year)<br />
for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you plan for health care<br />
expenses.<br />
What is not included in<br />
the out-of-pocket<br />
limit?<br />
Self-payments, balance billing,<br />
health care this plan does not<br />
cover, Family Supplemental<br />
Benefit charges.<br />
Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out-of-pocket limit.<br />
Is there an overall<br />
annual limit on what the<br />
plan pays?<br />
Does this plan use a<br />
network of providers?<br />
No.<br />
Yes. For a list of in-network<br />
providers, call 1-800-810-2583.<br />
The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay for specific covered<br />
services, such as office visits.<br />
If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all of<br />
the costs of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use an out-ofnetwork<br />
provider for some services. Plans use the term in-network, preferred, or<br />
participating for providers in their network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this<br />
plan pays different kinds of providers.<br />

Important Questions Answers<br />
Do I need a referral to see<br />
a specialist?<br />
Are there services this<br />
Yes.<br />
plan doesn’t cover?<br />
Yes. You need a referral to see an<br />
acupuncture specialist.<br />
Why this Matters:<br />
This plan will pay some or all of the costs to see a specialist for covered services but only<br />
if you have the plan’s permission before you see the specialist.<br />
Some of the services this plan doesn’t cover are listed on page 6. See your policy or plan<br />
document for additional information about excluded services.<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
Co-payments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.<br />
Co-insurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if<br />
the plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your co-insurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if<br />
you haven’t met your deductible.<br />
The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the<br />
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<br />
the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.)<br />
This plan may encourage you to use in-network providers by charging you lower deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance amounts.<br />

Your Rights to Continue Coverage:<br />
If you lose coverage under the plan, then, depending upon the circumstances, Federal and State laws may provide protections that allow you to keep health<br />
coverage. Any such rights may be limited in duration and will require you to pay a premium, which may be significantly higher than the premium you pay<br />
while covered under the plan. Other limitations on your rights to continue coverage may also apply.<br />
For more information on your rights to continue coverage, contact the plan at 1-708-482-7300. You may also contact your state insurance department, the<br />
U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration at 1-866-444-3272 or www.dol.gov/ebsa, or the U.S. Department of Health and<br />

About these Coverage<br />
Examples:<br />
These examples show how this plan might cover<br />
medical care in given situations. Use these<br />
examples to see, in general, how much financial<br />
protection a sample patient might get if they are<br />
covered under different plans.<br />
This is<br />
not a cost<br />
estimator.<br />
Don’t use these examples to<br />
estimate your actual costs<br />
under this plan. The actual<br />
care you receive will be<br />
different from these examples,<br />
and the cost of that care will<br />
also be different.<br />

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:<br />
What are some of the<br />
assumptions behind the<br />
Coverage Examples?<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
Costs don’t include premiums.<br />
Sample care costs are based on national<br />
averages supplied by the U.S.<br />
Department of Health and Human<br />
Services, and aren’t specific to a<br />
particular geographic area or health<br />
plan.<br />
The patient’s condition was not an<br />
excluded or preexisting condition.<br />
All services and treatments started and<br />
ended in the same coverage period.<br />
There are no other medical expenses for<br />
any member covered under this plan.<br />
Out-of-pocket expenses are based only<br />
on treating the condition in the example.<br />
The patient received all care from innetwork<br />
providers. If the patient had<br />
received care from out-of-network<br />
providers, costs would have been<br />
higher.<br />
What does a Coverage Example<br />
show?<br />
For each treatment situation, the Coverage<br />
Example helps you see how deductibles, copayments,<br />
and co-insurance can add up. It<br />
also helps you see what expenses might be left<br />
up to you to pay because the service or<br />
treatment isn’t covered or payment is limited.<br />
Does the Coverage Example<br />
predict my own care needs?<br />
No. Treatments shown are just examples.<br />
The care you would receive for this<br />
condition could be different based on your<br />
doctor’s advice, your age, how serious your<br />
condition is, and many other factors.<br />
Does the Coverage Example<br />
predict my future expenses?<br />
No. Coverage Examples are not cost<br />
estimators. You can’t use the examples to<br />
estimate costs for an actual condition. They<br />
are for comparative purposes only. Your<br />
own costs will be different depending on<br />
the care you receive, the prices your<br />
providers charge, and the reimbursement<br />
your health plan allows.<br />
Can I use Coverage Examples to<br />
compare plans?<br />
Yes. When you look at the Summary of<br />
Benefits and Coverage for other plans,<br />
you’ll find the same Coverage Examples.<br />
When you compare plans, check the<br />
“Patient Pays” box in each example. The<br />
smaller that number, the more coverage<br />
the plan provides.<br />
Are there other costs I should<br />
consider when comparing<br />
plans?<br />
<br />
Yes. An important cost is the premium<br />
you pay. Generally, the lower your<br />
premium, the more you’ll pay in out-ofpocket<br />
costs, such as co-payments,<br />
deductibles, and co-insurance. You<br />
should also consider contributions to<br />
accounts such as health savings accounts<br />
(HSAs), flexible spending arrangements<br />
(FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts<br />
(HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocket<br />
expenses.<br />

Important Questions<br />
What is the overall<br />
deductible?<br />
Are there other<br />
deductibles for specific<br />
services?<br />
Answers<br />
In-Network: $1,000 person/$2,500<br />
family; Out-of-Network: $2,000<br />
person/$5,000 family. Prescription<br />
drugs, durable medical equipment, TMJ,<br />
balance billing, excluded services do not<br />
count toward the deductible.<br />
No.<br />
Why this Matters:<br />
You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay<br />
for covered services you use. Check your policy or plan document to see when the<br />
deductible starts over (usually, but not always, January 1st). See the chart starting on<br />
page 2 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible.<br />
You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on<br />
page 2 for other costs for services this plan covers.<br />
Is there an out-ofpocket<br />
limit on my<br />
expenses?<br />
Yes. In-Network Medical: $4,000<br />
person/$8,000 family; Out-of-Network<br />
Medical: $8,000 person/$16,000<br />
family. In-Network Prescription Drugs:<br />
$2,000 person/$4,000 family. Out-of-<br />
Network Prescription Drugs: $4,000<br />
person/$8,000 family.<br />
The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually one<br />
year) for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you plan for health<br />
care expenses.<br />
What is not included in<br />
the out-of-pocket<br />
limit?<br />
Self-payments, balance billing, health<br />
care this plan does not cover, Family<br />
Supplemental Benefit charges.<br />
Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out-of-pocket limit.<br />
Is there an overall<br />
annual limit on what the<br />
plan pays?<br />
No.<br />
The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay for specific<br />
covered services, such as office visits.<br />

Important Questions Answers Why this Matters:<br />
Does this plan use a<br />
network of providers?<br />
Do I need a referral to see<br />
a specialist?<br />
Are there services this<br />
plan doesn’t cover?<br />
Yes. For a list of in-network<br />
providers, call 1-800-810-2583.<br />
Yes. You need a referral to see an<br />
acupuncture specialist.<br />
Yes.<br />
If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all<br />
of the costs of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use an<br />
out-of-network provider for some services. Plans use the term in-network, preferred, or<br />
participating for providers in their network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this<br />
plan pays different kinds of providers.<br />
This plan will pay some or all of the costs to see a specialist for covered services but only<br />
if you have the plan’s permission before you see the specialist.<br />
Some of the services this plan doesn’t cover are listed on page 6. See your policy or plan<br />
document for additional information about excluded services.<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
Co-payments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.<br />
Co-insurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if<br />
the plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your co-insurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if<br />
you haven’t met your deductible.<br />
The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the<br />
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<br />
the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.)<br />
This plan may encourage you to use in-network providers by charging you lower deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance amounts.<br />

About these Coverage<br />
Examples:<br />
These examples show how this plan might cover<br />
medical care in given situations. Use these<br />
examples to see, in general, how much financial<br />
protection a sample patient might get if they are<br />
covered under different plans.<br />
This is<br />
not a cost<br />
estimator.<br />
Don’t use these examples to<br />
estimate your actual costs<br />
under this plan. The actual<br />
care you receive will be<br />
different from these examples,<br />
and the cost of that care will<br />
also be different.<br />

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:<br />
What are some of the<br />
assumptions behind the<br />
Coverage Examples?<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
Costs don’t include premiums.<br />
Sample care costs are based on national<br />
averages supplied by the U.S.<br />
Department of Health and Human<br />
Services, and aren’t specific to a<br />
particular geographic area or health<br />
plan.<br />
The patient’s condition was not an<br />
excluded or preexisting condition.<br />
All services and treatments started and<br />
ended in the same coverage period.<br />
There are no other medical expenses for<br />
any member covered under this plan.<br />
Out-of-pocket expenses are based only<br />
on treating the condition in the example.<br />
The patient received all care from innetwork<br />
providers. If the patient had<br />
received care from out-of-network<br />
providers, costs would have been<br />
higher.<br />
What does a Coverage Example<br />
show?<br />
For each treatment situation, the Coverage<br />
Example helps you see how deductibles, copayments,<br />
and co-insurance can add up. It<br />
also helps you see what expenses might be left<br />
up to you to pay because the service or<br />
treatment isn’t covered or payment is limited.<br />
Does the Coverage Example<br />
predict my own care needs?<br />
No. Treatments shown are just examples.<br />
The care you would receive for this<br />
condition could be different based on your<br />
doctor’s advice, your age, how serious your<br />
condition is, and many other factors.<br />
Does the Coverage Example<br />
predict my future expenses?<br />
No. Coverage Examples are not cost<br />
estimators. You can’t use the examples to<br />
estimate costs for an actual condition. They<br />
are for comparative purposes only. Your<br />
own costs will be different depending on<br />
the care you receive, the prices your<br />
providers charge, and the reimbursement<br />
your health plan allows.<br />
Can I use Coverage Examples to<br />
compare plans?<br />
Yes. When you look at the Summary of<br />
Benefits and Coverage for other plans,<br />
you’ll find the same Coverage Examples.<br />
When you compare plans, check the<br />
“Patient Pays” box in each example. The<br />
smaller that number, the more coverage<br />
the plan provides.<br />
Are there other costs I should<br />
consider when comparing<br />
plans?<br />
<br />
Yes. An important cost is the premium<br />
you pay. Generally, the lower your<br />
premium, the more you’ll pay in out-ofpocket<br />
costs, such as co-payments,<br />
deductibles, and co-insurance. You<br />
should also consider contributions to<br />
accounts such as health savings accounts<br />
(HSAs), flexible spending arrangements<br />
(FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts<br />
(HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocket<br />
expenses.<br />

Important Questions<br />
What is the overall<br />
deductible?<br />
Are there other<br />
deductibles for specific<br />
services?<br />
Answers<br />
In-Network: $2,000 person/$5,000<br />
family; Out-of-Network: $4,000<br />
person/$10,000 family. Prescription<br />
drugs, durable medical equipment, TMJ,<br />
balance billing, excluded services do not<br />
count toward the deductible.<br />
No.<br />
Why this Matters:<br />
You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay<br />
for covered services you use. Check your policy or plan document to see when the<br />
deductible starts over (usually, but not always, January 1st). See the chart starting on<br />
page 2 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible.<br />
You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on<br />
page 2 for other costs for services this plan covers.<br />
Is there an out-ofpocket<br />
limit on my<br />
expenses?<br />
Yes. In-Network Medical: $4,000<br />
person/$8,000 family; Out-of-Network<br />
Medical: $8,000 person/$16,000 family. The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually<br />
In-Network Prescription Drugs: $2,000 one year) for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you plan for<br />
person/$4,000 family; Out-of-Network health care expenses.<br />
Prescription Drugs: $4,000<br />
person/$8,000 family.<br />
What is not included in<br />
the out-of-pocket<br />
limit?<br />
Self-payments, balance billing, health care<br />
this plan does not cover, Family<br />
Supplemental Benefit charges.<br />
Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out-of-pocket limit.<br />
Is there an overall<br />
annual limit on what the<br />
plan pays?<br />
No.<br />
The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay for specific<br />
covered services, such as office visits.<br />

Important Questions Answers Why this Matters:<br />
Does this plan use a<br />
network of providers?<br />
Do I need a referral to see<br />
a specialist?<br />
Are there services this<br />
plan doesn’t cover?<br />
Yes. For a list of in-network<br />
providers, call 1-800-810-2583.<br />
Yes. You need a referral to see an<br />
acupuncture specialist.<br />
Yes.<br />
If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all<br />
of the costs of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use an<br />
out-of-network provider for some services. Plans use the term in-network, preferred, or<br />
participating for providers in their network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this<br />
plan pays different kinds of providers.<br />
This plan will pay some or all of the costs to see a specialist for covered services but only<br />
if you have the plan’s permission before you see the specialist.<br />
Some of the services this plan doesn’t cover are listed on page 6. See your policy or plan<br />
document for additional information about excluded services.<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
Co-payments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.<br />
Co-insurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if<br />
the plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your co-insurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if<br />
you haven’t met your deductible.<br />
The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the<br />
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<br />
the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.)<br />
This plan may encourage you to use in-network providers by charging you lower deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance amounts.<br />

Your Rights to Continue Coverage:<br />
If you lose coverage under the plan, then, depending upon the circumstances, Federal and State laws may provide protections that allow you to keep health<br />
coverage. Any such rights may be limited in duration and will require you to pay a premium, which may be significantly higher than the premium you pay<br />
while covered under the plan. Other limitations on your rights to continue coverage may also apply.<br />
For more information on your rights to continue coverage, contact the plan at 1-708-482-7300. You may also contact your state insurance department, the<br />

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:<br />
What are some of the<br />
assumptions behind the<br />
Coverage Examples?<br />
● Costs don’t include premiums.<br />
● Sample care costs are based on national<br />
averages supplied by the U.S.<br />

Services, and aren’t specific to a<br />

Yes. An important cost is the premium<br />
you pay. Generally, the lower your<br />
premium, the more you’ll pay in out-ofpocket<br />
costs, such as co-payments,<br />
deductibles, and co-insurance. You<br />
should also consider contributions to<br />
accounts such as health savings accounts<br />
(HSAs), flexible spending arrangements<br />
(FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts<br />
(HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocket<br />
expenses.<br />

Important Questions<br />
Answers<br />
Why this Matters:<br />
What is the overall<br />
deductible?<br />
In-Network: $2,000 person/$5,000<br />
family; Out-of-Network: $4,000<br />
person/$10,000 family. Prescription<br />
drugs, durable medical equipment, TMJ,<br />
balance billing, excluded services do not<br />
count toward the deductible.<br />
You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to<br />
pay for covered services you use. Check your policy or plan document to see when<br />
the deductible starts over (usually, but not always, January 1st). See the chart starting<br />
on page 2 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible.<br />
Are there other<br />
deductibles for specific<br />
services?<br />
Is there an out-ofpocket<br />
limit on my<br />
expenses?<br />
What is not included in<br />
the out-of-pocket<br />
limit?<br />
No.<br />
Yes. In-Network Medical: $4,000<br />
person/$8,000 family; Out-of-<br />
Network Medical: $8,000<br />
person/$16,000 family. In-Network<br />
Prescription Drugs: $2,000<br />
person/$4,000 family; Out-of-<br />
Network Prescription Drugs: $4,000<br />
person/$8,000 family.<br />
Self-payments, balance billing, health<br />
care this plan does not cover, Family<br />
Supplemental Benefit charges.<br />
You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting<br />
on page 2 for other costs for services this plan covers.<br />
The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually<br />
one year) for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you plan for<br />
health care expenses.<br />
Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out-of-pocket<br />
limit.<br />
Is there an overall<br />
annual limit on what the<br />
plan pays?<br />
No.<br />
The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay for specific<br />
covered services, such as office visits.<br />

Important Questions Answers Why this Matters:<br />
Does this plan use a<br />
network of providers?<br />
Do I need a referral to see<br />
a specialist?<br />
Are there services this<br />
plan doesn’t cover?<br />
Yes. For a list of in-network<br />
providers, call 1-800-810-2583.<br />
Yes. You need a referral to see an<br />
acupuncture specialist.<br />
Yes.<br />
If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all<br />
of the costs of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use an<br />
out-of-network provider for some services. Plans use the term in-network, preferred, or<br />
participating for providers in their network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this<br />
plan pays different kinds of providers.<br />
This plan will pay some or all of the costs to see a specialist for covered services but only<br />
if you have the plan’s permission before you see the specialist.<br />
Some of the services this plan doesn’t cover are listed on page 6. See your policy or plan<br />
document for additional information about excluded services.<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
Co-payments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.<br />
Co-insurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if<br />
the plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your co-insurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if<br />
you haven’t met your deductible.<br />
The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the<br />
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<br />
the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.)<br />
This plan may encourage you to use in-network providers by charging you lower deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance amounts.<br />

Your Rights to Continue Coverage:<br />
If you lose coverage under the plan, then, depending upon the circumstances, Federal and State laws may provide protections that allow you to keep health<br />
coverage. Any such rights may be limited in duration and will require you to pay a premium, which may be significantly higher than the premium you pay<br />
while covered under the plan. Other limitations on your rights to continue coverage may also apply.<br />
For more information on your rights to continue coverage, contact the plan at 1-708-482-7300. You may also contact your state insurance department, the<br />
U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration at 1-866-444-3272 or www.dol.gov/ebsa, or the U.S. Department of Health and<br />

Does this Coverage Provide Minimum Essential Coverage?<br />
The Affordable Care Act requires most people to have health care coverage that qualifies as “minimum essential coverage.” This plan or policy does<br />
provide minimum essential coverage.<br />
Does this Coverage Meet the Minimum Value Standard?<br />
The Affordable Care Act establishes a minimum value standard of benefits of a health plan. The minimum value standard is 60% (actuarial value). This<br />
health coverage does meet the minimum value standard for the benefits it provides.<br />

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:<br />
What are some of the<br />
assumptions behind the<br />
Coverage Examples?<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
●<br />
Costs don’t include premiums.<br />
Sample care costs are based on national<br />
averages supplied by the U.S.<br />
Department of Health and Human<br />
Services, and aren’t specific to a<br />
particular geographic area or health<br />
plan.<br />
The patient’s condition was not an<br />
excluded or preexisting condition.<br />
All services and treatments started and<br />
ended in the same coverage period.<br />
There are no other medical expenses for<br />
any member covered under this plan.<br />
Out-of-pocket expenses are based only<br />
on treating the condition in the example.<br />
The patient received all care from innetwork<br />
providers. If the patient had<br />
received care from out-of-network<br />
providers, costs would have been<br />
higher.<br />
What does a Coverage Example<br />
show?<br />
For each treatment situation, the Coverage<br />
Example helps you see how deductibles, copayments,<br />
and co-insurance can add up. It<br />
also helps you see what expenses might be left<br />
up to you to pay because the service or<br />
treatment isn’t covered or payment is limited.<br />
Does the Coverage Example<br />
predict my own care needs?<br />
No. Treatments shown are just examples.<br />
The care you would receive for this<br />
condition could be different based on your<br />
doctor’s advice, your age, how serious your<br />
condition is, and many other factors.<br />
Does the Coverage Example<br />
predict my future expenses?<br />
No. Coverage Examples are not cost<br />
estimators. You can’t use the examples to<br />
estimate costs for an actual condition. They<br />
are for comparative purposes only. Your<br />
own costs will be different depending on<br />
the care you receive, the prices your<br />
providers charge, and the reimbursement<br />
your health plan allows.<br />
Can I use Coverage Examples to<br />
compare plans?<br />
Yes. When you look at the Summary of<br />
Benefits and Coverage for other plans,<br />
you’ll find the same Coverage Examples.<br />
When you compare plans, check the<br />
“Patient Pays” box in each example. The<br />
smaller that number, the more coverage<br />
the plan provides.<br />
Are there other costs I should<br />
consider when comparing<br />
plans?<br />
<br />
Yes. An important cost is the premium<br />
you pay. Generally, the lower your<br />
premium, the more you’ll pay in out-ofpocket<br />
costs, such as co-payments,<br />
deductibles, and co-insurance. You<br />
should also consider contributions to<br />
accounts such as health savings accounts<br />
(HSAs), flexible spending arrangements<br />
(FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts<br />
(HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocket<br />
expenses.<br />

Some of the services this plan doesn’t cover are listed on page 6. See your policy or plan<br />
document for additional information about excluded services.<br />
Co-payments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.<br />
Co-insurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if<br />
the plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your co-insurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if<br />
you haven’t met your deductible.<br />
The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the<br />
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<br />
the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.)<br />
This plan may encourage you to use in-network providers by charging you lower deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance amounts.<br />

Your Rights to Continue Coverage:<br />
If you lose coverage under the plan, then, depending upon the circumstances, Federal and State laws may provide protections that allow you to keep health<br />
coverage. Any such rights may be limited in duration and will require you to pay a premium, which may be significantly higher than the premium you pay<br />
while covered under the plan. Other limitations on your rights to continue coverage may also apply.<br />
For more information on your rights to continue coverage, contact the plan at 1-708-482-7300. You may also contact your state insurance department, the<br />
U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration at 1-866-444-3272 or www.dol.gov/ebsa, or the U.S. Department of Health and<br />
Human Services at 1-877-267-2323 x61565 or www.cciio.cms.gov.<br />

Does this Coverage Provide Minimum Essential Coverage?<br />
The Affordable Care Act requires most people to have health care coverage that qualifies as “minimum essential coverage.” This plan or policy does<br />
provide minimum essential coverage.<br />
Does this Coverage Meet the Minimum Value Standard?<br />
The Affordable Care Act establishes a minimum value standard of benefits of a health plan. The minimum value standard is 60% (actuarial value). This<br />
health coverage does meet the minimum value standard for the benefits it provides.<br />

About these Coverage<br />
Examples:<br />
These examples show how this plan might cover<br />
medical care in given situations. Use these<br />
examples to see, in general, how much financial<br />
protection a sample patient might get if they are<br />
covered under different plans.<br />
This is<br />
not a cost<br />
estimator.<br />
Don’t use these examples to<br />
estimate your actual costs<br />
under this plan. The actual<br />
care you receive will be<br />
different from these examples,<br />
and the cost of that care will<br />
also be different.<br />

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:<br />
What are some of the<br />
assumptions behind the<br />
Coverage Examples?<br />
● Costs don’t include premiums.<br />
● Sample care costs are based on national<br />
averages supplied by the U.S.<br />
Department of Health and Human<br />
Services, and aren’t specific to a<br />
particular geographic area or health<br />
plan.<br />
● The patient’s condition was not an<br />
excluded or preexisting condition.<br />
● All services and treatments started and<br />
ended in the same coverage period.<br />
● There are no other medical expenses for<br />
any member covered under this plan.<br />
● Out-of-pocket expenses are based only<br />
on treating the condition in the example.<br />
●<br />
The patient received all care from innetwork<br />
providers. If the patient had<br />
received care from out-of-network<br />
providers, costs would have been<br />
higher.<br />
What does a Coverage Example<br />
show?<br />
For each treatment situation, the Coverage<br />
Example helps you see how deductibles, copayments,<br />
and co-insurance can add up. It<br />
also helps you see what expenses might be left<br />
up to you to pay because the service or<br />
treatment isn’t covered or payment is limited.<br />
Does the Coverage Example<br />
predict my own care needs?<br />
No. Treatments shown are just examples.<br />
The care you would receive for this<br />
condition could be different based on your<br />
doctor’s advice, your age, how serious your<br />
condition is, and many other factors.<br />
Does the Coverage Example<br />
predict my future expenses?<br />
No. Coverage Examples are not cost<br />
estimators. You can’t use the examples to<br />
estimate costs for an actual condition. They<br />
are for comparative purposes only. Your<br />
own costs will be different depending on<br />
the care you receive, the prices your<br />
providers charge, and the reimbursement<br />
your health plan allows.<br />
Can I use Coverage Examples to<br />
compare plans?<br />
Yes. When you look at the Summary of<br />
Benefits and Coverage for other plans,<br />
you’ll find the same Coverage Examples.<br />
When you compare plans, check the<br />
“Patient Pays” box in each example. The<br />
smaller that number, the more coverage<br />
the plan provides.<br />
Are there other costs I should<br />
consider when comparing<br />
plans?<br />
<br />
Yes. An important cost is the premium<br />
you pay. Generally, the lower your<br />
premium, the more you’ll pay in out-ofpocket<br />
costs, such as co-payments,<br />
deductibles, and co-insurance. You<br />
should also consider contributions to<br />
accounts such as health savings accounts<br />
(HSAs), flexible spending arrangements<br />
(FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts<br />
(HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocket<br />
expenses.<br />
