📖 Insurance Vocabulary: Out-of-Pocket Maximum
Understanding your health insurance can feel overwhelming, but knowing a few key terms can make a big difference.
Your out-of-pocket maximum is the most you would pay during a plan year for covered healthcare services from in-network providers, before your plan generally pays 100% of covered benefits for the rest of the plan year.
Knowing your out-of-pocket maximum can help you better understand your potential healthcare costs and plan ahead.
