1 These plans are named for the deductible applicable to the "individual" for in-network service providers. The deductibles applicable to any other coverage level (for example, "Family coverage") or for services provided by out-of-network service providers will be significantly higher than (in many instances, double) the amounts captured in the names of the plans.
2 "Family" applies to all coverage levels except Employee-Only.
3 Not "True" Family: For the $3,200 Deductible Plan, if more than one person in a family is covered under this plan, there are two ways the plan will begin to pay benefits for a covered family member. When a covered family member meets his or her individual deductible, benefits begin for only that covered family member, and not for the other covered family members. When the family deductible is met, benefits begin for all covered family members whether or not each has met the individual deductible. The family deductible can only be met by a combination of covered family members, as amounts counted toward individual deductibles count toward the larger family deductible. The out-of-pocket maximum functions in the same way. When a covered family member meets his or her individual out-of-pocket maximum, the out-of-pocket maximum is satisfied for only that covered family member. When the family out-of-pocket maximum is met, the out-of-pocket maximum is satisfied for all covered family members, whether or not each has met the individual out-of-pocket maximum. The family out-of-pocket maximum can only be met by a combination of covered family members, as amounts counted toward individual out-of-pocket maximums count toward the larger family out-of-pocket maximum.
4 "True" Family: For the $1,600 Deductible Plan, if more than one person in a family is covered under this plan, benefits begin for any one covered family member only after the family deductible is met by one covered family member or a combination of family members. This plan does not require that you or a covered family member must meet the "individual" deductible to meet the family deductible. The out-of-pocket maximum functions in the same way. If more than one person in a family is covered under this plan, the out-of-pocket maximum is met for any one covered family member only when the family out-of-pocket maximum is met by one covered family member or a combination of covered family members.
5 In addition to mail order, you will be able to fill a 90-day supply of your maintenance medications at a CVS Caremark® retail pharmacy, at the same cost as you would through the mail order program. For all maintenance medications, after the first three fills, you must fill a 90-day supply either at a CVS Caremark® retail pharmacy or through the CVS Caremark® Maintenance Choice Mail Order program otherwise, the maintenance medication will not be covered, you will pay 100% of the full cost for all subsequent fills, and the cost does not accumulate towards the deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
