Ex: How the family deductible and out-of-pocket maximum works
There are 3 family members enrolled in the medical plans. Only Dad incurs
expenses during the year.
Deductible:
Out of Pocket Maximum:
Under the Consumer HDHP:
$2,600/$5,200 (Embedded)
$5,500/$11,000 (Embedded)
Under the Enhanced HDHP:
$1,300/$2,600 (True)
$4,500/$9,000 (Embedded)
In January, Dad gets a Rx total discounted cost is
$500.
Dad pays $500 because the Rx

The Rx plan is separate from the
medical plan. So Dad pays the $100
retail Rx deductible and $120 - which
is 30% of the remaining $400.
In March, Dad gets a
preventive physical exam.
The plan pays 100% because this is a
covered preventive exam – no
deductible applies.

Under the Base PPO:

Dad pays $750 of the $1,000 - which
satisfies just his medical deductible
for the year. He then pays $50 as the
20% coinsurance he's responsible for.
Dad pays $1,100 - which satisfies only
his combined medical/Rx embedded
deductible. So the plan will now pay
80% for additional claims for Dad for the Dad pays $1,100 - which satisfies his
remainder of the year. The other family and his entire family combined
members (Mom & Child) will need to medical/Rx true deductible. So the plan
satisfy the other half of the deductible will now pay 80% for additional claims
before the plan will pay coinsurance for for the entire family for the remainder Dad pays his 20% coinsurance of the
