19 How Family Deductible and Out-of-Pocket Max.

20 Ex: How the family deductible and out-of-pocket maximum works There are 3 family members enrolled in the medical plans. Only Dad incurs expenses during the year. Under the Consumer HDHP: Under the Enhanced HDHP: Under the Base PPO: Deductible: $2,600/$5,200 (Embedded) $1,300/$2,600 (True) $750/$1,500 (Embedded) Out of Pocket Maximum: $5,500/$11,000 (Embedded) $4,500/$9,000 (Embedded) $3,500/$7,000 (Embedded) In January, Dad gets a Rx - total discounted cost is $500. In March, Dad gets a preventive physical exam. Dad pays $500 because the Rx Dad pays $500 because the Rx deductible is combined with the medical deductible is combined with the deductible - which he has not satisfied medical deductible - which he has not yet. satisfied yet. The plan pays 100% because this is a covered preventive exam no deductible applies. The plan pays 100% because this is a covered preventive exam no deductible applies. The Rx plan is separate from the medical plan. So Dad pays the $100 retail Rx deductible and $120 - which is 30% of the remaining $400. The plan pays 100% because this is a covered preventive exam no deductible applies. In May, Dad breaks his leg. Expenses are $1,000. Dad pays $1,000 because the $2,600 embedded deductible has not yet been satisfied. Dad pays $1,000 because the $2,600 true deductible has not yet been satisfied. Dad pays $750 of the $1,000 - which satisfies just his medical deductible for the year. He then pays $50 as the 20% coinsurance he's responsible for. In November, Dad gets pneumonia then an infection. Expenses are $10,000. Dad pays $1,100 - which satisfies only his combined medical/rx embedded deductible. So the plan will now pay 80% for additional claims for Dad for the remainder of the year. The other family members (Mom & Child) will need to satisfy the other half of the deductible before the plan will pay coinsurance for them. Dad pays $1,100 - which satisfies his and his entire family combined medical/rx true deductible. So the plan will now pay 80% for additional claims for the entire family for the remainder of the year. Dad pays his 20% coinsurance of the $10,000 - which is $2,000.
