Carrier
Allstate
The company that provides and manages your insurance coverage. You pay your insurance premiums, which are regular payments to maintain your coverage, directly to the carrier.
Plan Year
2024
A health plan's plan year typically spans 12 months from when you purchased the plan. At the start of next 12 months, the plan reset, and any deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, and benefits calculations begin anew.
Individual and Family Deductible
An individual deductible and family deductible are key components of a private health insurance plan. The individual deductible represents the amount a single policyholder must pay out of pocket for covered medical expenses before their insurance begins to cover costs. In contrast, a family deductible encompasses the cumulative medical expenses incurred by all covered family members before the insurance kicks in for the rest of the members within the family. Once these deductibles are met, the insurance plan typically covers a percentage of the remaining medical expenses. Maximum out-of-pocket limits are the cap on the total amount a policyholder or family is required to pay in a given year for covered medical services, including deductibles and co-payments. Once this annual limit is reached, the insurance company usually covers all additional eligible expenses, providing financial protection against catastrophic healthcare costs. These components help individuals and families manage healthcare expenses while ensuring they have a safety net against excessive medical bills.
Individual Deductible
$10,000
A deductible is the amount you pay out of your own pocket before your insurance coverage starts. It's a way to share costs between you and the insurance company.
Maximum Out Of Pocket
$10,000
Maximum out-of-pocket refers to the highest amount you'll have to pay for covered medical expenses in a given period, including deductibles and co-payments. Once you reach this limit, your insurance covers 100% of eligible expenses.
Family Deductible
$30,000
A deductible is the amount you pay out of your own pocket before your insurance coverage starts. It's a way to share costs between you and the insurance company. The Family deductible is usually 3 times the amount of the individual deductible
Family Maximum Out of Pocket
$30,000
Family maximum out-of-pocket refers to the highest amount you'll have to pay for covered medical expenses in a given period, including deductibles and co-payments. On these private health plans, it's normally 3 times the individual deductible.
Coinsurance After Deductible
0% after deductible
Coinsurance is the percentage that you pay for medical services after the deductible has been met. You'll pay this percentage until the maximum out of pocket amount has been met.
Doctor Visits
Doctor visit costs refer to the expenses you are responsible for paying directly to your healthcare provider during each visit to a doctor's office. In many private health insurance plans, individuals are required to cover the entire cost of their doctor visits until they meet their deductible, which is the predetermined amount they must pay out of pocket before their insurance starts sharing the expenses. However, even when you're responsible for the full price, if you choose an in-network healthcare provider, you often benefit from a negotiated rate that is typically lower than what you'd pay if you were uninsured or used an out-of-network provider. This negotiated rate extends to any diagnostic tests or procedures performed during the visit, helping to make healthcare more affordable while encouraging individuals to seek care from within their plan's network.
Doctor Office Visit
$0 copay after deductible
A doctor visit is an appointment with a general healthcare provider or specialty doctor, which might have a fixed copayment before your deductible is met, unless otherwise stated.
Mental Health Visits
Not Covered
Mental health care visits encompass appointments with mental health professionals, such as therapists or psychiatrists, to address and support individuals' emotional and psychological well-being.
Preventative Care

Preventative care involves healthcare measures and screenings aimed at detecting and addressing potential health issues early, ultimately reducing the risk of serious illnesses and promoting overall well-being.
Labor & Delivery
Not Covered
Labor and delivery medical services encompass the specialized healthcare provided to pregnant individuals during childbirth, ensuring the safe delivery of infants and the well-being of both mother and baby.
Emergency and Urgently Needed Services
Emergency and urgently needed services in the context of health insurance refer to medical care that is required immediately due to a life-threatening situation or when delaying care could result in serious harm. Emergency services encompass situations like severe injuries, heart attacks, or sudden illnesses that demand immediate attention. Urgently needed services involve medical conditions that require prompt care to avoid complications, even though they might not be immediately life-threatening. Health insurance plans typically cover these services, even if the provider is out of network, ensuring that individuals receive essential care regardless of the circumstances.

Coverage Period Maximum
The coverage period maximum is a critical concept in health insurance, representing the utmost limit that a health insurance company will pay for an individual's covered medical services within a specific plan term. This maximum is established to protect both the policyholder and the insurer. Once this limit is reached, the policyholder becomes responsible for all additional medical expenses, unless they renew or enroll in a new insurance plan. Understanding the coverage period maximum is essential for individuals to plan their healthcare expenses effectively, as exceeding this limit can result in substantial out-of-pocket costs. It underscores the importance of selecting a health insurance plan that aligns with one's healthcare needs and financial capacity to ensure comprehensive coverage and peace of mind.
Coverage Maximum
$1,000,000
The total limit on benefits that the insurance will provide over the duration of the policy, often specified as an annual or lifetime maximum, beyond which the policyholder is responsible for all medical costs.
Prescription Coverage
Prescription benefits are a crucial aspect of healthcare coverage, as they determine the extent to which health insurance plans will help pay for necessary medications. Many private health insurance plans do not include prescription drug coverage in their standard offerings as a way to keep premiums more affordable. However, policyholders can choose to enhance their coverage by paying a higher premium to include prescription benefits, ensuring access to vital medications while managing healthcare costs. This option allows individuals to customize their health insurance plans to their specific needs and financial situation, making it particularly valuable for those who rely on regular medications to maintain their health.
Preferred Generic Rx
No Rx Benefits
Typically refers to a category of prescription drugs that health insurance plans favor due to their cost-effectiveness. These medications are often available at lower co-payment or co-insurance rates to encourage their use as a cost-saving measure.
Extra Benefits for Children
Many health insurance plans offer extra benefits for kids under 18 to ensure their well-being. These benefits often include coverage for pediatric services such as well-child visits, immunizations, vision and dental care, and preventive screenings. Additionally, some plans might provide access to specialized pediatric care and therapies, ensuring that children receive comprehensive healthcare tailored to their developmental needs. It's important to review your insurance policy to understand the specific extra benefits available for kids and their coverage details.
Children's Immunizations
Covered 100% after deductible
Vision assessment performed by an eye doctor to evaluate a child's visual health and identify any eye conditions. These exams are essential for early detection and treatment of issues that could affect a child's vision and overall development.
