9 Glossary of terms Healthcare lingo explained We realize that the words used in health plan brochures can be confusing, so we ve made you a cheat sheet of sorts. To find even more definitions, including a printable uniform glossary, visit the Learning center at choosemoda.com. For free print copies of the uniform glossary please contact us. Balance billing Charges for out-of-network care beyond what your health plan allows. Out-of-network providers may bill you the difference between the reimbursement amount and their billed charges. In-network providers can t do this. Coinsurance The percentage of allowable charges for which the patient is responsible. Copay The fixed amount you pay for a specific covered healthcare service, product or treatment, usually at the time of receiving it. Deductible The amount you pay for covered healthcare services in a calendar year before the health plan starts paying for treatment. Out-of-pocket maximum The most an individual pays in a calendar year for covered healthcare services before benefits are paid in full. Once members meet their out-of-pocket maximum, the plan covers eligible expenses at 100 percent. The out-of-pocket maximum includes deductibles, coinsurance and copayments. It does not include disallowed charges or balance billing amounts for out-of-network providers. Preferred provider option (PPO) A preferred provider option (PPO) is a type of dental Delta Dental of Alaska or Moda Health medical plan. PPO members have in-network coverage when receiving care from a provider contracted on a PPO Network panel. Providers contracted under this panel cannot balance bill. Preferred provider organization (PPO) A PPO can also refer to "preferred provider organization." This is a panel of medical or dental providers contracted under Moda Health or Delta Dental of Alaska to provide in-network coverage at agreed-upon rates, with no balance billing. Members maximize their benefits by seeing in-network PPO providers. 9
