Important Questions
Answers
Why This Matters:
What is the overall
deductible?
$7,000 person/ $14,000 famil
y
Generally, you must pay all of the costs from providers up to the deductible amount before this
plan begins to pay. If you have other family members on the plan, each family member must
meet their own individual deductible until the total amount of deductible expenses paid by all
family members meets the overall family deductible.
Are there services
covered before you
meet your deductible?
Yes. Preventive care, office
visits, Prescription drugs,
Urgent care visits subject to a
copayment and eye
exam/glasses for children are
covered before you meet your
deductible.
This plan covers some items and services even if you haven’t yet met the deductible amount.
But a copayment or coinsurance may apply. For example, this plan covers certain preventive
services without cost-sharing and before you meet your deductible. See a list of covered
preventive services at https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits/.
Are there other
deductibles for specific
services?
No.
You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services.
What is the out-of-
pocket limit for this
plan?
$7,000 person/ $14,000 family
The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay in a year for covered services. If you have other
family members in this plan, they have to meet their own out-of-pocket limits until the overall
family out-of-pocket limit has been met.
What is not included in
the out-of-pocket limit?
Premiums, balance-billing
charges, penalties for failure to
obtain preauthorization for
services and health care this
plan doesn’t cover.
Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out–of–pocket limit.
Will you pay less if you
use a network
provider?
Yes. See www.cigna.com/ifp-
providers or call 1-866-494-
2111 for a list of network
providers.
This plan uses a provider network. You will pay less if you use a provider in the plan’s network.
You will pay the most if you use an out-of-network provider, and you might receive a bill from a
provider for the difference between the provider’s charge and what your plan pays (balance
billing). Be aware, your network provider might use an out-of-network provider for some services
(such as lab work). Check with your provider before you get services.
