  • Self and Family: Nothing after $15,000 (PPO) per contract per year; nothing after $7,500 (PPO) per individual per year
     
Note: Some costs do not count toward this protection.

Note: When one covered family member (Self Plus One and Self and Family contracts) reaches the Self Only maximum during the calendar year, that member’s claims will no longer be subject to associated member cost-share amounts for the remainder of the year. All remaining family members will be required to meet the balance of the catastrophic protection out-of-pocket maximum.
