Footnotes

* All services are subject to the deductible unless otherwise stated.

1) Family Deductible: For any given Member, cost share applies either after he/she meets their individual Deductible, or after the entire family Deductible is met. The family Deductible can be met by any combination of amounts from any Member; however, no one Member may contribute any more than his/her individual Deductible toward the family Deductible.

2) Family out-of-pocket limit: For any given member, the out-of-pocket limit is met either after he/she meets their individual out-of-pocket limit, or after the entire family out-of-pocket limit is met. The family out-of-pocket limit can be met by any combination of amounts from any member; however, no one member may contribute any more than his/her individual out-of-pocket limit toward the family out-of-pocket limit.

3) Office visits are per member and combined for primary care physician, specialist, other provider, Counseling (including Family Planning, Nutritional), and Telehealth. These Office Visits have a Co-payment with deductible waived for in-network providers which applies to any combination of services for the first three visits during the Benefit Period. Starting with the fourth visit, you pay Deductible and then a Co-payment. Always check the setting above to determining your payment responsibility for other services and Providers, if applicable. Benefits are based on the setting in which Covered Services are received. If the service is available (and you obtain the service) in a setting other than the one listed above, your Co-payment /Coinsurance will be based on the setting in which, you receive the service. Please see those settings to determine your cost share.

4) When you use an out-of-network provider, you will have higher cost sharing amounts to pay. Anthem’s payment is based on a maximum allowed amount (includes certain benefits with maximum payment limits) and an out-of-network provider can charge you for amounts in excess of the Maximum Allowed Amount (there is an exception for Emergency Care received in California). In addition, only the maximum allowed amount for out of network services is applied towards your Out-of-Network deductible and out of pocket.
