3 What is a deductible and when does it apply?
A deductible is the amount you pay for covered health care services before your insurance plan starts to pay. With a $1,000 deductible, for example, you pay the first $1,000 of covered services yourself. The only services that are not subject to the deductible are the ones with a co-pay stated in the plan summaries. The CDHP benefits are subject to the deductible before the plan pays. The only benefits that are not subject to the deductible for the CDHP are the age appropriate preventative services and the RX co-pays from the approved preventative drug list. McLennan County’s Health Benefit Plan starts October 1, 2016, and runs through September 30, 2017. Deductibles for both the Base Plan and the Consumer Driven Health Plan run from January 1 to December 31. Your deductible does not start over until January 1. If you have met a part of your deductible prior to October 1 it will carry over until December 31 and then start over on January 1, 2017.

8 Examples of How “Plan 1: Base Health Plan” Works
If you have to go into the hospital, you will have to pay the first $1,000 of charges and then you will have to pay 20% of the remaining charges until you have reached the out-of-pocket max. of $4,500. If you have a CT scan you will have to pay the first $1,000 of charges, then 20% of the remaining charges until you reach the $4,500. If you pay a copay for your office visit, you pay $500 for a sonogram test, then have a CT scan ,expect to pay another $500 of charges to satisfy the remaining deductible amount. Should you go into the hospital, you will have to pay 20% of the charges until the amounts that you have already paid and the 20% adds up to your out-of-pocket max. of $4,500. In August, you have an office visit with a copay of $30; and at that visit you also have a procedure such as having a mole removed. The charges for that are $85, you will pay a total of $115. The $85 will apply to the deductible, but the $30 will apply to the out-of-pocket maximum. In September, the doctor says that you need to have a MRI for your back and those charges are $2,900, you will pay $915 to meet the remaining deductible amount plus 20% being $397. On Nov. 10th, you go into the hospital and those charges are $13,000, you will have to pay 20% which is $2,600. You have met the deductible, but still have $473 of the out-of-pocket maximum to meet. Remember the deductible and out-of-pocket maximum will start over again on January 1st. ** Disclaimer: costs on these slides are fictitious and only for purposes of explaining how the plan works.

9 Examples of How “Plan 1: Base Health Plan” Works Continued
Diabetic services example: Diabetic supplies that cost $65 per month, coverage is at 50% of the copay. If you go to the doctor every month for 3 months and the amount for the copay is $30 plus you have the monthly diabetic supplies, you will pay $ Then on October 5th, you have to go into the hospital for outpatient surgery unexpectedly. When you receive the bill for the out patient surgery of $5,600, you will have to pay $1,000 deductible and 20% of the remaining charge which is $920 of the $5,600 billed from the provider. You have satisfied the deductible; however, only $ of the out-of-pocket was used for the calendar year. You will still be expected to pay $ of the remaining out-of-pocket maximum should you have additional services rendered before the end of the calendar year which ends in December. Please remember that if you have any services done out-of-network there are no benefits paid. ** Disclaimer: costs on these slides are fictitious and only for purposes of explaining how the plan works.
