Components of your Out of Pocket Maximum (OOP)
* Note: under 2-person and family coverage each individual has their own deductible, coinsurance and OOP maximum. Amounts above shown to illustrate your financial responsibility if multiple family members meet their per person maximum. Under family coverage this could mean that a family of five could meet their $1500 maximum deductible without any one person meeting the $500 per person deductible (5 x $300 = $1500 = family maximum deductible met.)

Deductible Your 20% Coinsurance
Your OOP Maximum
Per Person: $500 $1000 $1500
Maximum for 2 person coverage:
$1000 $2000 $3000

Health Reimbursement Account vs. Healthy Awards AccountWhat is the difference??
Health Reimbursement Account Automatically funded each year
by Saint Michael’s Only a portion of unused funds
roll over year to year $125 for Employee $300 for Employee + 1 $550 for Family
These dollars are utilized toward services covered on the medical plan that are subject to the deductible or coinsurance.
Healthy Awards Account You earn dollars by participating in
health and wellness programs All of your unused funds roll over
year after year These dollars are utilized toward
services covered on the medical plan that are subject to the deductible or coinsurance.
Both are components of a Health Reimbursement Arrangement
