Coverage ExamplesAbout these CoverageExamples:These examples show how this plan might covermedical care in given situations. Use theseexamples to see, in general, how much financialprotection a sample patient might get if they arecovered under different plans.This is not a costestimator.Don’t use these examples to estimate youractual costs under this plan. The actualcare you receive will be different from theseexamples, <strong>and</strong> the cost of that care will alsobe different.See the next page for important informationabout these examples.Note: These numbers assume enrollmentin individual-only coverage.Having a baby(normal delivery)• Amount owed to providers: $7,540• Plan pays $7,330• Patient pays $ 210Sample care costs:<strong>Hospital</strong> charges (mother) $2,700Routine obstetric care $2,100<strong>Hospital</strong> charges (baby) $900Anesthesia $900Laboratory tests $500Prescriptions $200Radiology $200Vaccines, other preventive $40Total $7,540Patient pays:Deductibles $0Co-pays $40Co-insurance $0Limits or exclusions $170Total $210Managing type 2 diabetes(routine maintenance ofawell-controlled condition)• • Amount owed to providers: $5,400• Plan pays $720• Patient pays 4,680Sample care costs:Prescriptions $2,900Medical Equipment <strong>and</strong> Supplies $1,300Office Visits <strong>and</strong> Procedures $700Education $300Laboratory tests $100Vaccines, other preventive $100Total $5,400Patient pays:Deductibles $0Co-pays $320Co-insurance $0Limits or exclusions $4,360Total $4,6808 of 9
Questions <strong>and</strong> answers about the Coverage Examples:What are some of the assumptions behind theCoverage Examples?Costs don’t include premiums.Sample care costs are based on nationalaverages supplied by the U.S. Departmentof <strong>Health</strong> <strong>and</strong> Human Services, <strong>and</strong> aren’tspecific to a particular geographic area orhealth plan.The patient’s condition was not an excluded orpreexisting condition.All services <strong>and</strong> treatments started <strong>and</strong>ended in the same coverage period.There are no other medical expenses forany member covered under this plan.Out-of-pocket expenses are based only ontreating the condition in the example.The patient received all care from innetworkproviders. If the patient hadreceived care from out-of-networkproviders, costs would have been higher.What does a Coverage Example show?For each treatment situation, the CoverageExample helps you see how deductibles, copayments,<strong>and</strong> co-insurance can add up. It alsohelps you see what expenses might be left up toyou to pay because the service or treatment isn’tcovered or payment is limited.Does the Coverage Example predict my owncare needs? No. Treatments shown are just examples. Thecare you would receive for this condition couldbe different based on your doctor’s advice,your age, how serious your condition is, <strong>and</strong>many other factors.Does the Coverage Example predict my futureexpenses? No. Coverage Examples are not costestimators. You can’t use the examples toestimate costs for an actual condition. Theyare for comparative purposes only. Your owncosts will be different depending on the careyou receive, the prices your providerscharge, <strong>and</strong> the reimbursement your healthplan allows.Can I use Coverage Examples to compareplans?Yes. When you look at the Summary ofBenefits <strong>and</strong> Coverage for other plans, you’llfind the same Coverage Examples. When youcompare plans, check the “Patient Pays” boxin each example. The smaller that number,the more coverage the plan provides.Are there other costs I should consider whencomparing plans?Yes. An important cost is the premium youpay. Generally, the lower your premium, themore you’ll pay in out-of-pocket costs, such asco-payments, deductibles, <strong>and</strong> coinsurance.You should also considercontributions to accounts such as healthsavings accounts (HSAs), flexible spendingarrangements (FSAs) or healthreimbursement accounts (HRAs) that help youpay out-of-pocket expenses.Plan ID:Plan Name: <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Medical Group OAPQuestions: Call 1-800-<strong>Cigna</strong>24 or visit us at www.my<strong>Cigna</strong>.com.If you aren’t clear about any of the bolded terms used in this form, see the Glossary.You can view the Glossary at www.cciio.cms.gov or call 1-800-my<strong>Cigna</strong>.com to request a copy.9 of 9
