7 Embedded Deductible PPO Plans When one person in a family reaches the individual deductible level, that person moves to the coinsurance benefit level. Other family members’ expenses accrue to meet the remaining family deductible before they move to the coinsurance benefit level. Deductible, co-insurance and copayments accrue to meet the individual and family Maximum Out-of- Pocket. 7

8 Maximum out-of-pocket limits vary by plan. Prescription drug Urgent care Emergency room Office visit Co-insurance Deductible Maximum limit Maximum Out-of-Pocket PPO Plans - Individuals Out-of-pocket costs for all eligible, in-network services — including deductible, co-pay and co-insurance — count toward the individual maximum. Once you reach the MOOP limit, GuideStone covers all eligible, in-network health care expenses for the rest of the year! Note: Out-of-network expenses accumulate separately and do not contribute to the maximum out-of-pocket limit. 8

9 Maximum out-of-pocket limits vary by plan. Prescription drug Urgent care Emergency room Office visit Co-insurance Deductible Maximum limit Maximum Out-of-Pocket PPO Plans - Family Coverage Out-of-pocket costs for all eligible, in-network services apply toward the deductible and also count toward the family individual or aggregate maximum out-of-pocket limit. Once one family member reaches the family individual maximum out-of-pocket limit, all of that member’s eligible, in-network expenses will be paid at 100%. The remaining amount of the family maximum out-of-pocket limit can be accumulated by one or all of the family members. Once the family reaches the family maximum out-of-pocket limit, everyone’s eligible, in-network expenses will be paid at 100% for the rest of the year. Note: Out-of-network and ineligible medical expenses do not accumulate toward, or contribute to, the maximum out-of-pocket limit. 9 The below applies to plans with an embedded deductible:
