- The plan includes comprehensive coverage for medical, prescription, behavioral health, and organ transplant services with no pre-existing condition limits.
- The plan deductible is $1,250 for employee-only coverage and $2,500 when one or more family members are covered. In accordance with IRS regulations, the deductible works differently than the PPO $900, $400 Deductible, or IUHQP plans.
- The deductible applies to all medical and prescription expenses except preventive services and preventive prescriptions.
- The family deductible must be met before services are covered for any member—there is no separate individual deductible for those enrolled in employee/spouse, employee/child(ren), or family coverage.
- Once the deductible is met, the plan pays 80% of in-network medical costs.
- Co-insurance is limited by an out-of-pocket maximum—when the deductible and co-insurances reach the maximum, there is no co-insurance for the remainder of the year. Out-of-pocket maximums are $2,500 for employee-only coverage and $5,000 when one or more family members are covered. (There is no lower individual out-of-pocket maximum for those enrolled in employee/spouse, employee/child(ren), or family coverage.)
- Contraceptives requiring a prescription—generic and brands without a generic equivalent—are covered at 100%, no deductible, no co-pay.
- All other preventive prescriptions are covered at 80%—no deductible applies.
- Preventive medical services are covered at 100% when In-Network providers are used —no deductible applies. Preventive services include physical exams, well-child visits, immunizations, lab tests (e.g., Pap, PSA, cholesterol), contraceptive services (e.g., IUD’s and sterilization ), and other screening diagnostic services like mammograms and colonoscopies.
