The information provided is for informational purposes only. It should not be considered legal or financial advice. You should consult with a professional to determine what may be best for your individual needs.
2 Calendar year deductible applies
3 HDHP members who have met their deductible will be charged by MDLIVE, but G.E.H.A will reimburse the member 100% of the plan allowance.
4 In-network providers agree to limit what they will charge you. You pay a fixed dollar amount or percentage of the provider's negotiated amount.
5 The net deductible is the remaining amount after you subtract the annual G.E.H.A contribution from the annual deductible. This is your out-of-pocket cost before plan benefits begin.
6 The out-of-pocket maximum is the maximum amount of coinsurance, copays and deductibles you pay for all family members before G.E.H.A begins paying for 100% of covered services. This is a combined maximum for both medical care and prescriptions.
7 Refer to geha.com/Prescriptions for formulary and specialty coverage for specific medications.
8 If you choose a brand-name medication when a generic is available, you will be charged the generic copay plus the difference in cost between the brand-name and the generic.
This is a brief description of the features of the G.E.H.A High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). Before making a final decision, please read the Plan's Federal brochure RI 71-026. All benefits are subject to the definitions, limitations and exclusions set forth in the Federal brochure.
