Key Questions About Your Coverage
What is the Overall Deductible?
In-Network:
- Single Plan: $1,500 per employee
- Family Plan: $1,500 per person / $3,000 family
Out-of-Network:
- Single Plan: $3,000 per employee
- Family Plan: $3,000 per person / $6,000 family
What This Means: Generally, you must pay all costs from providers up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay. For family plans, 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. In-network preventive services and physician office visits are covered before you meet your deductible. This plan covers certain preventive services without cost sharing and before you meet your deductible. See the list of covered preventive services at healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits.
Are There Other Deductibles for Specific Services?
No. You don't have to meet separate deductibles for specific services.
What is the Out-of-Pocket Limit?
In-Network:
- Single Plan: $5,000 per employee
- Family Plan: $5,000 per person / $10,000 family
Out-of-Network:
- Single Plan: $10,000 per employee
- Family Plan: $10,000 per person / $20,000 family
What This Means: The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay in a year for covered services. If you have other family members on this plan, they have to meet their own out-of-pocket limits until the overall family out-of-pocket limit is met.
What is NOT Included in the Out-of-Pocket Limit?
The following expenses do NOT count toward your out-of-pocket limit:
- Preauthorization penalties
- Premiums
- Balance billing charges
- Healthcare services this plan doesn't cover
Will You Pay Less If You Use a Network Provider?
Yes. Visit provider-search.kariashealth.com to search for service providers or call the Karias Care Concierge at 888-832-0354 for assistance.
You pay less when you use in-network providers. You pay the most when you use out-of-network providers, 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 that your network provider might use an out-of-network provider for some services (such as lab work). Always check with your provider before you get services.
Do You Need a Referral to See a Specialist?
No. You can see any specialist you choose without a referral.
