The information provided is for informational purposes only. It should not be considered legal or financial advice. You should consult with a professional to determine what may be best for your individual needs.

² Calendar year deductible applies

³ HDHP members who have met their deductible will be charged by MDLIVE, but G.E.H.A will reimburse the member 100% of the Plan Allowance.

⁴ In-network providers agree to limit what they will charge you. You pay a fixed dollar amount or percentage of the provider's negotiated amount.

⁵ The net deductible is the remaining amount after you subtract the annual G.E.H.A contribution from the annual deductible. This is your out-of-pocket cost before plan benefits begin.

⁶ The out-of-pocket maximum is the maximum amount of coinsurance, copays and deductibles you pay for all family members before G.E.H.A begins paying for 100% of covered services. This is a combined maximum for both medical care and prescriptions.

⁷ Refer to geha.com/Prescriptions for formulary and specialty coverage for specific medications.

⁸ If you choose a brand-name medication when a generic is available, you will be charged the generic copay plus the difference in cost between the brand-name and the generic.

⁹ These benefits are neither offered nor guaranteed under contract with the PSHB Program but are made available to all Enrollees who become members of a G.E.H.A health plan and their eligible family members.

¹⁰ See IRS Publications 502 and 969 for more information regarding qualified medical expenses, health savings accounts and health reimbursement arrangements.
