This does not apply to services that require a copay. Coinsurance — The percentage you pay for covered services after you have met your deductible. Out-of–pocket maximum — The total amount you will pay in a calendar year. It is a combination of the deductible and coinsurance. Once paid, all covered services are paid at 100% for the rest of the calendar year. Copayment (copay) — A fixed amount you pay to receive a medical service, usually at the time the service is performed (office visits, emergency room, urgent care). Note that the copayment does not go toward paying the deductible, coinsurance or out-of-pocket maximum. Copays are separate and continue even after your out-of-pocket maximums are met. In-network providers — Providers (i.e., hospitals and doctors, etc.) that sign a contract agreeing to accept the allowed amount for a service as payment in full so that members will not be billed for the balance. Out-of-network providers — Providers (i.e., hospital and doctors, etc.) that have not signed a contract with the Blues to accept the approved amount and may bill for balances. Out-of-network providers may result in higher out-of-pocket costs. 5 Who can join 2016 Benefits at a glance Mental health and substance abuse treatment Leaving the hospital Questions DME Organ transplant Member You pay Physicians/Providers Preventive services Preventive care Prescription drugs Deductible, coinsurance and dollar maximums In network Out of network Covered – 100% Covered – subject to deductible and coinsurance Customer service Reasons to join Pap Smear Screenings — one per calendar year Missouri Mammography Screening Routine and high-risk mammogram screening in accordance with guidelines established by the American Physician office services Outpatient diagnostic services Surgical services hearing Cancer Society – one routine exam per calendar year beginning at age 40.
