coinsurance
Coinsurance
is
your
share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the
allowed amount
for the service. For example, if the plan’s
allowed
amount
for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your
coinsurance
payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if you haven’t met your
deductible
.

No charge
Chiropractic care (limited to 26 visits per
calendar year). Acupuncture only covered
in lieu of anesthesia.
• The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the
allowed amount
. If an out-of-network
provider
charges more than the
allowed amount
, you may have
to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay and the
allowed amount
is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500
difference. (This is called
balance billing
.)
This plan may encourage you to use in-network
providers
(including the Aetna Performance Network ("APN") for hospitals and specialists and the Aexcel network for
specialists, if applicable in your zip code, by charging you lower
deductibles
,
copayments
and
coinsurance
amounts
.
There is no coverage when you receive care from
out-of-network providers, except for emergency care.
Copayments
are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.
