Important Questions Answers Why this Matters:
What is the overalldeductible?
$500 person / $1,000family: doesn't apply topreventive care, officevisits, urgent care,emergency care, orpharmacy.
You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for coveredservices 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 coveredservices after you meet the deductible.
Are there otherdeductibles for specificservices?
No. You don't have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on page 2 for othercosts for services your plan covers.
Is there anout–of–pocket limit onmy expenses?
Yes. $6,600 person /$13,200 family
The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually one year) for yourshare of the costs of covered services. This limit helps you plan for health care expenses.
What is not included inthe out–of–pocket limit?
Premiums, Balance BilledCharges, and HealthCare this plan does notcover.
Even though you pay these expenses, they don't count toward the out-of-pocket limit.
Is there an overall annuallimit on what the planpays?
No. The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay for specific coveredservices, such as office visits.
Does this plan use anetwork of providers?
Yes. See www.hap.org orcall 1-800-422-4641 for alist of preferred providers.
If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all of thecosts of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use an out-of-networkprovider for some services. Plans use the term in-network, preferred, or participating for providers intheir network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this plan pays different kinds of providers.
Do I need a referral to seea specialist? Yes.
Written referrals are not required for specialist visits within the member's assigned network forselected services. Referrals or oral approvals are required in other instances. Further information onthe referral process can be found at www.hap.org.
Are there services thisplan doesn’t cover? Yes. Some of the services this plan doesn't cover are listed on page 5. See your policy or plan document for
additional information about excluded services.

Coverage Period: 07/01/2015 - 06/30/2016
• 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 percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if
the plan’s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change ifyou 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 theallowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay andthe 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 participating providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts.

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:What are some of theassumptions behind theCoverage Examples?• Costs don’t include premiums.
• Sample care costs are based on nationalaverages supplied by the U.S. Departmentof Health and Human Services, andaren’t specific to a particular geographicarea or health plan.
• The patient’s condition was not anexcluded or preexisting condition.
• All services and treatments started andended in the same coverage period.
• There are no other medical expenses forany member covered under this plan.
• Out-of-pocket expenses are based only ontreating the condition in the example.
• The patient received all care from in-network providers. If the patient hadreceived care from out-of-networkproviders, costs would have been higher.
What does a Coverage Exampleshow?For each treatment situation, the CoverageExample helps you see how deductibles,copayments, and coinsurance can add up. Italso helps you see what expenses might be leftup to you to pay because the service ortreatment isn’t covered or payment is limited.
Does the Coverage Examplepredict my own care needs?û No. Treatments shown are just examples.
The care you would receive for thiscondition could be different based onyour doctor’s advice, your age, howserious your condition is, and many otherfactors.
Does the Coverage Examplepredict my future expenses?û No. Coverage Examples are not cost
estimators. You can’t use the examples toestimate costs for an actual condition.They are for comparative purposes only.Your own costs will be differentdepending on the care you receive, theprices your providers charge, and thereimbursement your health plan allows.
Can I use Coverage Examplesto compare plans?ü 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. Thesmaller that number, the more coveragethe plan provides.
Are there other costs I shouldconsider when comparingplans?ü Yes. An important cost is the premium
you pay. Generally, the lower yourpremium, the more you’ll pay in out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments,deductibles, and coinsurance. You shouldalso consider contributions to accountssuch as health savings accounts (HSAs),flexible spending arrangements (FSAs) orhealth reimbursement accounts (HRAs)that help you pay out-of-pocket expenses.

Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples:What are some of theassumptions behind theCoverage Examples?• Costs don’t include premiums.
• Sample care costs are based on nationalaverages supplied by the U.S. Departmentof Health and Human Services, andaren’t specific to a particular geographicarea or health plan.
• The patient’s condition was not anexcluded or preexisting condition.
• All services and treatments started andended in the same coverage period.
• There are no other medical expenses forany member covered under this plan.
• Out-of-pocket expenses are based only ontreating the condition in the example.
• The patient received all care from in-network providers. If the patient hadreceived care from out-of-networkproviders, costs would have been higher.
What does a Coverage Exampleshow?For each treatment situation, the CoverageExample helps you see how deductibles,copayments, and coinsurance can add up. Italso helps you see what expenses might be leftup to you to pay because the service ortreatment isn’t covered or payment is limited.
Does the Coverage Examplepredict my own care needs?û No. Treatments shown are just examples.
The care you would receive for thiscondition could be different based onyour doctor’s advice, your age, howserious your condition is, and many otherfactors.
Does the Coverage Examplepredict my future expenses?û No. Coverage Examples are not cost
estimators. You can’t use the examples toestimate costs for an actual condition.They are for comparative purposes only.Your own costs will be differentdepending on the care you receive, theprices your providers charge, and thereimbursement your health plan allows.
Can I use Coverage Examplesto compare plans?ü 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. Thesmaller that number, the more coveragethe plan provides.
Are there other costs I shouldconsider when comparingplans?ü Yes. An important cost is the premium
you pay. Generally, the lower yourpremium, the more you’ll pay in out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments,deductibles, and coinsurance. You shouldalso consider contributions to accountssuch as health savings accounts (HSAs),flexible spending arrangements (FSAs) orhealth reimbursement accounts (HRAs)that help you pay out-of-pocket expenses.
