A deductible is the amount of money that you pay out of yourown pocket before the plan begins to pay benefits.
After paying the deductible amount, you will split the cost of eligible healthcare services with the insurer. The percentage that you pay is called coinsurance. The specific percentage for each service is listed in the plan's member handbook. Once you have paid enough coinsurance to reach the out-of-pocket maximum, the insurer pays 100% of eligible expenses for the rest of the plan year.
For example, if a health plan has an 80/20 in-network coinsurance rate for a specific service, after the deductible has been satisfied the plan is responsible for 80 percent of the eligible charges and you are responsible for 20 percent. You will continue to pay coinsurance percentages until you reach your plan-year out-of-pocket maximum, at which point the plan will pay for 100 percent of the eligible expenses (subject to any limitations).
This is the most you pay in a plan year for covered medical services before benefits are paid in full by the plan. This includes your deductible, coinsurance and copay amounts. There are expenses that you may need to pay that do not apply toward your out-of-pocket maximum, such as disallowed charges or balance billing amounts for out-of-network providers. Once you meet your out-of-pocket maximum, the plan covers all eligible medical expenses at 100 percent.

Maximum Plan Allowance (MPA) is the maximum amount that Moda Health will reimburse a non-contracted provider. A non-contracted provider may bill you for any amount over the MPA. This may leave you with a high out of pocket balance.

Any time you have a medical emergency, you should go to the nearest emergency room or urgent care facility.
If the facility is within the travel network, benefits will be paid at the in-network benefit level up to the facility's contracted allowable amount.
If the facility is outside the travel network, benefits will be paid at the in-network benefit level up to the maximum plan allowable. This means that you could be responsible for any charges that are more than the maximum amount allowed by the plan.
