ASR PPO1 1 of 8 Rev. 06/30/16 Oakland County, G-962 PPO1 PLAN Summary of Benefits and Coverage : What this PlanCovers & What it CostsCoverage Period: Beginning on or after 1/1/ 2017 Coverage for: Covered Person or FamilyPlan Type: PPO 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 plandocument at or by calling 616-957-1751 or 1-800-968-2449. Important Questions Answers Why this Matters: What is the overall deductible? $0 per covered person and $0 per family for most covered services. $200 per covered person and $400 per family for the limited number of covered services identified throughout this Summary as Master Medical Coverage .

3 Copayments, coinsurance, penalties, charges that exceed the plan s usual and customary fee allowance or are in excess of stated maximums, premiums, balance-billed charges (unless balance billing is prohibited), and health care this plan doesn t cover don t 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. This plan s deductible starts over on 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 that this plan covers. Is there an out of pocket limit on my expenses? Yes. The out-of-pocket limit for coinsurance only is $1,000 per covered person or family.

4 However, the total out of pocket limits, which include coinsurance, deductibles (if any), and in-network medical copayments, for covered services are $3,750 per covered person and $9,500 per 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. What is not included in the out of pocket limit? Deductibles and copayments are not included in the out of pocket limit applicable to only coinsurance (but could be included in the total out of pocket limits as specified above) . In general, the out of pocket limits specified in this Summary do not include out-of-network medical copayments, prescription drug copayments (however, these expenses will c ount towards a separate out of pocket limit that is not specified in this Summary ), penalties, charges that exceed the plan s usual and customary fee allowance or are in excess of stated maximums, premiums, balance-billed charges (unless balance billing is prohibited), and health care this plan doesn t cover.

5 Even though you pay these expenses, they don t count toward the out of pocket limit. ASR PPO1 2 of 8 Important Questions Answers Why this Matters: 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. Does this plan use a network of providers? Yes. For more information, visit the website or call one of the phone numbers shown at the bottom of page 1. 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 for different kinds of providers.

6 Do I need a referral to see a specialist? No. 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, ifthe 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.

7 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 in-network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance Medical Event Services You May Need Your Cost If You Use an In-Network Provider Your Cost If You Use an Out-of-Network Provider Limitations & Exceptions If you visit a health care provider s office or clinic Primary care visit to treat an injury or illness $20 copay/visit $20 copay/visit and 15% coinsurance -- none-- Specialist visit $20 copay/visit $20 copay/visit and 15% coinsurance -- none-- ASR PPO1 3 of 8 Common Medical Event Services You May Need Your Cost If You Use an In-Network Provider Your Cost If You Use an Out-of-Network Provider Limitations & Exceptions If you visit a health care provider s office or clinic, cont.
