What are the out-of-pocket costs associated with GEHA plans?

Out-of-pocket costs associated with GEHA plans can vary based on the specific plan chosen by the member. Typically, these costs include premiums, deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. Members are required to pay a monthly premium for their health insurance coverage, which is generally deducted from their paychecks. Deductibles are the amounts that members must pay out of pocket before the insurance starts to cover certain services. Copayments are fixed amounts paid for specific services, such as doctor visits or prescriptions, at the time of service. Coinsurance refers to the percentage of costs that the member pays after the deductible has been met. It is important to understand that different services may have varying out-of-pocket costs, and these can also depend on whether the provider is in-network or out-of-network. Members can find additional information, including specifics for each plan, on the GEHA website.
