Benefit Summary
Covered Services
The following services are covered up to their benefit maximums. Then services are covered under the “Other Services” benefits portion of the program, subject to separate deductible and coinsurance amounts.
Office Visit & Services
Your office visit copay is $25 per visit with a maximum of five visits per person during the benefit period (total of 15 visits for a family of three or more persons). The benefit period is the 12-month period that begins the date your coverage goes into effect. You pay the $25 copay and AffordaBlue pays the remaining charges for:
Accidental Injuries: Initial Outpatient Coverage
Your copay is $50 for the initial outpatient visit when paid within 60 days of the date of injury. (This initial visit does not apply to the 5/15 office visit maximum mentioned above.) When admitted to the hospital within 24 hours of this initial visit, the copay is waived and benefits are subject to the “Other Services” deductible and coinsurance amounts explained later.

Additional Program Information
Triple Option Plan
The Triple Option Plan is available to large groups with this product. The plan offers
employees one of three out-of-pocket choices annually within
the Shared Pay Comprehensive benefit program. The employer
must contribute at least 25 percent of the employee-only
premium amount for the highest out-of-pocket option. This
stabilizes the group's base and gives the employees the
option to "buy up" to a better level of coverage,
based on their personal insurance needs.
