5 Insurance Terminology Annual Deductible The amount you must pay for certain covered health services in a calendar year before the plan will begin paying for major medical benefits in that calendar year. Coinsurance The amount or percentage the plan (UHC) pays and you pay after the deductible is met. Maximum Out-of-Pocket The maximum amount of Annual Deductible and Coinsurance you pay every calendar year. Once you reach the Out-of-Pocket maximum, benefits are payable at 100% of Eligible Expenses during the rest of that calendar year. NOTE: These do not include benefits that are subject to copays.

30 Employee Testimonials I used it and it was great! My daughter seen an out-of network provider and I called Health Advocate to assist with the billing. The clinic worked with them and ended up writing off half of the bill. Ive used Health Advocate 2 or 3 times already. Ive used them to help interpret why a service either isnt covered or isnt covered fully and to help decipher the multiple bills that are sent sometimes when you have hospital services (i.e. hospital, doctor, anesthesiologist…they all get their own bill!) I had a question about coverage for my sons allergy shots. I contacted Health Advocate & the question was answered right away from the source itself (United Health Care). No long waits and I dealt only with customer service representatives (not automated computer-generated messages). I will definitely contact them again.
