prescription drugs, usually due at the time you receive the service.

Coinsurance
Q: What is coinsurance?
A: Coinsurance is the member’s share of the costs of a
covered health care service or prescription drug,
calculated as a percent of the amount for the service
or cost of the drug.
o Coinsurance amounts are based on the total cost of a drug or service.
o For the Health Plan and In-Network HDHP, once the deductible is
met, a 10% coinsurance will be charged for all non-copayment-related
services beyond the charge for the office visit. Exception: A 20%
coinsurance applies to covered durable and disposable medical
equipment, certain hearing aids, and cochlear implants.
o Federally preventive services are not subject to a deductible, copays,
or coinsurance.
o Medical coinsurance amounts count towards the OOPL.
16
Pharmacy Benefits

deductible has been met. Once the deductible is met, the member costs in the table above will
apply. See the HDHP Combined OOPL amount for each plan at www.Wisconsin.edu/abe
17
How to Determine Prescription Costs
Coinsurance is a percentage of total cost (for Level 2, 3 and 4
drugs); the cost of the drug will impact how much you pay.
o Option 1: Contact your pharmacist and ask what the total cost of your
prescription is. If you take this approach, show your pharmacist your
Navitus ID card if necessary and be sure to inform your pharmacist that:
1. You are a State Group Health insurance program member
2. Navitus Health Solutions is your Pharmacy Benefit Manager
3. You need to know the Navitus discounted cost of the drug– not the
full retail cost.
o Option 2: You may also find the total cost of your prescribed drug on the
documents and/or receipts you receive with your prescription.
o Option 3: If enrolled in SGH for 2015, review your medication history via
the Members portal on Navitus’ website. Log in to the members section
of navitus.com to view the current formulary and determine levels
18
Out-of-Pocket Limits (OOPL)
Q: What is an out-of-pocket limit?
A: An out-of-pocket limit (OOPL) is a plan provision that limits the
member’s cost-sharing. It is the maximum amount that a member will pay
for in-network, covered services during a plan year.
Once the OOPL is met, coinsurance and copayments no longer apply for health.
o
Reminder: There are separate medical and prescription out-of-pocket limits (except
for HDHP plans).

o The HDHP has a lower monthly premium
o The HSA provides a way to set aside pre-tax
monies into a savings account that can earn
interest

$1,500 for family coverage to your HSA in 2016

Member Health Plan Medical Costs
Overview
Person pays for
medical costs until
they reach their
deductible.
Then, person pays
coinsurance amounts
while their insurance
covers the remainder of
medical care costs.
COPAYS are separate
from the deductible and
apply toward the OOPL
29
Insurance covers
expenses at 100% after
reaching the out-ofpocket limit (OOPL) or,
if applicable, the federal
maximum out of pocket
(MOOP).
Calculate Estimated Prescription Cost
1.
ADD the amount your plan paid to the amount that you paid for the
prescription in 2015
2.
Multiply the total from step #1 by the coinsurance percentage found on
your benefit schedule to determine estimated member copay based on
2016 benefit design and formulary coverage Level. Note the Maximum
copay amounts.
EXAMPLE (using 2015 Rx amounts to estimate cost in 2016)
• Formulary coverage Level = 2 (20% with $50 maximum copay). In
example, you would pay $50, not $60.
