The Local Choice: High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) Coverage Period: 0/01/2015 – 0 /30/2016 Summary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it Costs Coverage for: Individual/Family | Plan Type: High Deductible This is only a summary. If you want more detail about your coverage and costs, you can get the complete terms in the policy or plan document at www.thelocalchoice.virginia.gov or by calling 1-888-642-4414. Important Questions Answers Why this Matters: What is the overall deductible? Combined deductible for in-network providers $2,800 person / $5,600 family Doesn’t apply to preventive care You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for covered services you use. Check your policy or plan document to see when the deductible starts over (usually, but not always, January 1st). See the chart starting on page 2 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible. Are there other deductibles for specific services? No. You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on page 2 for other costs for services this plan covers. Is there an out–of– pocket limit on my expenses? Yes. For participating providers $5,000 person / $10,000 family For non-participating providers $10,000 person / $20,000 family 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. There are no out-of-network benefits except in an emergency. What is not included in the out–of–pocket limit? Deductible and coinsurance for routine dental service and adult routine vision services Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out-of- pocket limit. Is there an overall annual limit on what the plan pays? No. The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay for specific covered services, such as office visits. Does this plan use a network of providers? Yes. See www.anthem.com or call 1-800-552-2682 for a list of in-network providers. 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 an out-of-network provider 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. Questions: Call 1-888-642-4414 or visit us at www.thelocalchoice.virginia.gov. If you aren’t clear about any of the underlined terms used in this form, see the Glossary. You can view the Glossary at www.thelocalchoice.virginia.gov or call 1-888-642-4414 to request a copy. 22
