The care you would receive for this
condition could be different, based on your
doctor's advice, your age, how serious your
condition is, and many other factors.
Treatments shown are just examples.
Coverage Examples are not cost
estimators. You can't use the examples to
estimate costs for an actual condition. They
are for comparative purposes only. Your
own costs will be different depending on

your health plan allows.
you pay. Generally, the lower your
premium, the more you'll pay in
out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments,
deductibles, and coinsurance. You should

spending arrangements (FSAs) or health
reimbursement accounts (HRAs) that help
you pay out-of-pocket expenses.
