Health Insurance Coverage
HTH health insurance policy’s co-pay is $100 per sickness or injury (co-pay is waived for services provided only by the SHC
Covered expenses will be paid after the co-pay is satisfied
How Does HTH Pay?
Basic Medical Expense Benefit: HTH pays up to $10,000 Maximum: 100% of Reasonable Expenses after Co-pay
Supplemental Major Medical Expense Benefit (SMM): After Basic Medical Expense Benefit Maximum has been reached, 80% of Reasonable Expenses will be paid up to an additional 40,000 Maximum
How Does HTH Pay?
Catastrophic Major Medical Expense Benefit (CMM): After both Basic & Supplemental Benefit Maximums have been reached, 100% Reasonable Expenses up to an additional $100,000 Maximum will be paid
Accidental Death & Dismemberment Repatriation & Medical Evacuation
How Does HTH Pay?
● Example 1: You have gone to the nearest hospital for an emergency and your final bill is $1,500
You must pay the co-pay: $100 ($1,500 - $100 = $1,400)
Insurance will pay the remaining $1,400 (100% X $1,400) up to the first $10,000
This is called the Basic Medical Expense Benefit
How Does HTH Pay?
Example 2: If you received a hospital bill for $12,000: You would first pay the $100 co-pay ($12,000 -
$100 = $11,900) $11,900 - $10,000 (insurance pays100% up to
the first $10,000) = $1,900 $1,900 X 80% = $1,520 ($1,900 - $1,520 = $380)
Insurance pays 80% after $10,000 Your final total payment would be $480 ($100(co-
pay) + $380 = $480)
