3 This high-deductible plan pays the same benefits as Plan G after one has paid a calendar year $2,950 deductible. Benefits from the high-deductible Plan G will not begin until out-of-pocket expenses are $2,950. Out-of-pocket expenses for this deductible are expenses that would ordinarily be paid by the policy. This includes the Medicare Part B deductible, but does not include the plan’s separate foreign travel emergency deductible.
4 NOTICE: When your Medicare Part A hospital benefits are exhausted, the insurer stands in the place of Medicare and will pay whatever amount Medicare would have paid for up to an additional 365 days as provided in the policy’s “Core Benefits.” During this time, the hospital is prohibited from billing you for the balance based on any difference between its billed charges and the amount Medicare would have paid.
5 Once you have been billed $283 of Medicare-approved amounts for covered services, your Part B deductible will have been met for the calendar year.
