Plan Year
2024
A health plan's plan year typically spans from January 1st to December 31st. At the start of each new year, plans reset, and any deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, and benefits calculations begin anew.

$9,450
Maximum out-of-pocket refers to the highest amount you'll have to pay for covered medical expenses in a given period, including deductibles and co-payments. Once you reach this limit, your insurance covers 100% of eligible expenses.
Doctor Visits
Doctor visit copays are predetermined fixed amounts that you pay directly to your healthcare provider each time you visit the doctor's office. Typically, these copays are applied before your deductible is met, meaning you're responsible for these payments regardless of whether you've reached your deductible limit. However, some health insurance plans might have exceptions where certain preventive services or specific types of visits are covered without requiring copayments before meeting the deductible. It's essential to review your plan details to understand how doctor visit copays are applied in your specific insurance coverage.

Specialty Care Visit
$60 copay first 4 visits then 10% coinsurance after deductible

Emergency and Urgently Needed Services
Emergency and urgently needed services in the context of health insurance refer to medical care that is required immediately due to a life-threatening situation or when delaying care could result in serious harm. Emergency services encompass situations like severe injuries, heart attacks, or sudden illnesses that demand immediate attention. Urgently needed services involve medical conditions that require prompt care to avoid complications, even though they might not be immediately life-threatening. Health insurance plans typically cover these services, even if the provider is out of network, ensuring that individuals receive essential care regardless of the circumstances.
Urgent Care Visit
$60 copay first 4 visits then 10% coinsurance after deductible
Urgent care is for non-emergency medical needs that require prompt care but is not severe enough to warrant a trip to the emergency room. It's a convenient option when your regular doctor is unavailable.
Emergency Room Visit

An emergency room visit is for immediate, life-threatening medical situations requiring urgent medical attention, such as severe injuries, heart attacks, or critical illnesses. It's the place to go when there's a medical crisis.
Ground Ambulance

A ground ambulance is a specially equipped vehicle used to transport individuals to medical facilities, often in cases of emergencies or when there's a need for medical supervision during transportation.
Prescription Coverage
Prescription medications are prescribed by healthcare providers to treat various medical conditions. They play a crucial role in managing health, and their cost can vary significantly based on factors such as the drug's brand or generic status, dosage, and insurance coverage. If you're looking for information about the cost of your prescription drugs and how they are covered by your insurance plan, a local agent at Utah Avenue Insurance can provide assistance and help you understand the specifics of your medication coverage.
Preferred Generic Rx
$20 copay
Typically refers to a category of prescription drugs that health insurance plans favor due to their cost-effectiveness. These medications are often available at lower co-payment or co-insurance rates to encourage their use as a cost-saving measure.
Extra Benefits for Children
Many health insurance plans offer extra benefits for kids under 18 to ensure their well-being. These benefits often include coverage for pediatric services such as well-child visits, immunizations, vision and dental care, and preventive screenings. Additionally, some plans might provide access to specialized pediatric care and therapies, ensuring that children receive comprehensive healthcare tailored to their developmental needs. It's important to review your insurance policy to understand the specific extra benefits available for kids and their coverage details.
