Use these examples to see, in general, how much financial protection a sample patient might get if they are covered under different plans. This is not a cost estimator. Don’t use these examples to estimate your actual costs under this plan. The actual care you receive will be different from these examples, and the cost of that care will also be different. See the next page for important information about these examples.

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples: What are some of the assumptions behind the Coverage Examples? • Costs don’t include premiums. • Sample care costs are based on national averages supplied by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and aren’t specific to a particular geographic area or health plan. • The patient’s condition was not an excluded or preexisting condition. • All services and treatments started and ended in the same coverage period. • There are no other medical expenses for any member covered under this plan. • Out-of-pocket expenses are based only on treating the condition in the example. • The patient received all care from in- network providers. If the patient had received care from out-of-network providers, costs would have been higher. What does a Coverage Example show? For each treatment situation, the Coverage Example helps you see how deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance can add up. It also helps you see what expenses might be left up to you to pay because the service or treatment isn’t covered or payment is limited. Does the Coverage Example predict my own care needs?
