Frequently asked questions
- Do premiums count toward my out-of-pocket maximum?
- No. Premiums are excluded from the out-of-pocket maximum. This calculator adds them separately so your worst-case total reflects the real money you'd spend.
- What counts toward the out-of-pocket maximum?
- Your deductible, coinsurance, and copays for covered in-network care all count. Premiums, out-of-network charges, and non-covered services generally do not.
- Why should I know my worst-case health cost?
- It tells you the emergency fund you need to weather a serious illness or accident. Once you hit the out-of-pocket maximum, the insurer covers 100% of further in-network care.
