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.mclaneco.com or by calling 1-888-403-6089.
Important Questions Answers Why this Matters:
What is the overall deductible?
For In-Network providers $0 Person/$0 Family For Out-of-Network providers $2,000 Person/$4,000 Family
Doesn’t apply to services that charge a copay, In-Network preventive care and prescription drugs. Copays do not count toward the deductible.
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? Yes. Per occurrence: $1,500 In-Network inpatient admission. There are no other specific deductibles.
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.
Is there an out-of-pocket limit on my expenses?
Yes. For In-Network providers $3,000 Person/$6,000 Family For Out-of-Network providers $6,000 Person/$12,000 Family
Separate Prescription Out-of-Pocket Max $3,000 Individual/$6,000 Family
Medical copays apply to the Medical Out-of-Pocket Max. Prescription copays apply to the Prescription Out-of-Pocket Max.
The out-of-pocket limit amount 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.
What is not included in the
out-of-pocket limit? Premiums, preauthorization penalties, balance billed charges and health care this plan doesn’t cover.
Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out-of-pocket limit.
Does this plan use a
network of providers?
Yes. See www.bcbstx.com or call 1-866-363-7936 for a list of participating 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.
Do I need a referral to see a
specialist? No. You don’t need a referral to see a specialist.
You can see the specialist you choose without permission from this plan.
Are there services this plan
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.

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 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 In-Network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts.

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.
See the next page for important information about these examples. These numbers assume the patient has given notice of
her pregnancy to the plan. If you are pregnant and
have not given notice of your pregnancy, your costs
may be higher. For more information, please contact:
BCBSTX at 1-866-363-7936 before you go into the

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 in-network 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 coinsurance 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-of-pocket costs, such as copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance. 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.
