Important Questions Answers Why this Matters: What is the overall deductible? Are there other deductibles for specific services? Is there an out of pocket limit on my expenses? What is not included in the out of pocket limit? Is there an overall annual limit on what the plan pays? Does this plan use a network of providers? Do I need a referral to see a specialist? Are there services this plan doesn t cover? $0 See the chart starting on page 2 for other costs for services this plan covers. Yes. $5,000 Family. Examples include Inpatient Hospital Services, Outpatient Surgical Services and Skilled Nursing. Yes. $6,000 Member/ $12,000 Family Premiums, balance-billed charges, and health care this plan doesn t cover. No Yes. For a list of in-network providers, see www.pplusic.com or call 608-282-8900 or 1-800-545-5015. Yes. Out-of-network specialists require prior written approval from Physicians Plus. Yes You must pay all of the costs for these services up to the specific deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for these services. The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually one year) for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you plan for health care expenses. Even though you pay for these expenses, they don t count toward the out-of-pocket limit. The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay for specific covered services, such as office visits. If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all of the costs of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use out-of-network providers for some services. Plans use the term in-network, preferred or participating for providers in their network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this plan pays different kinds of providers. This plan will pay some or all of the costs to see a specialist for covered services but only if you have the plan s permission or prior authorization before you see the specialist. Some of the services this plan doesn t cover are listed on page 6. See your policy or plan document for additional information about excluded services. 1 of 12
Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service. Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percentage of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if the plan s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if you haven t met your deductible. The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the allowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay and the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.) This plan may encourage you to use network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and amounts.

About these Coverage Examples: These examples show how this plan might cover medical care in given situations. 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.

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 innetwork 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 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? No. Treatments shown are just examples. The care you would receive for this condition could be different based on your doctor s advice, your age, how serious your condition is, and many other factors. Does the Coverage Example predict my future expenses? No. Coverage Examples are not cost estimators. You can t use the examples to estimate costs for an actual condition. They are for comparative purposes only. Your own costs will be different depending on the care you receive, the prices your providers charge, and the reimbursement your health plan allows. Can I use Coverage Examples to compare plans? Yes. When you look at the Summary of Benefits and Coverage for other plans, you ll find the same Coverage Examples. When you compare plans, check the Patient Pays box in each example. The smaller that number, the more coverage the plan provides. Are there other costs I should consider when comparing plans? Yes. An important cost is the premium you pay. Generally, the lower your premium, the more you ll pay in out-ofpocket costs, such as copayments, deductibles, and. You should also consider contributions to accounts such as health savings accounts (HSAs), flexible spending arrangements (FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts (HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocket expenses. 10 of 12
