4. Know what I'll pay for care
First, you must meet the deductible.
This is the amount you pay for covered healthcare services before your Premera plan starts to pay.
WE PAY 100% preventive exams, screenings, specific Rx covered in full. You Pay non-preventive care & prescriptions until you reach deductible. WE BOTH PAY coinsurance for covered services. WE PAY 100% covered services. WE PAY 100% preventive exams, screenings, specific Rx covered in full. You Pay non-preventive care & prescriptions until you reach deductible. WE BOTH PAY coinsurance for covered services. WE PAY 100% covered services.

For details about your plan’s actual preventive benefits, see your preventive benefits list, summary of benefits, and your benefit booklet on premera.com.

After you meet the deductible, your plan starts paying some of your costs
This is called coinsurance. Coinsurance is the percentage of costs of a covered healthcare service you pay (20%, for example) after you've paid your deductible. The percentage varies by plan.
Then, your safety net, or out-of-pocket maximum kicks in
Out-of-pocket maximum is the most you have to pay for covered services in a plan year. After you spend this amount on deductibles, copays, and coinsurance, your Premera plan pays 100% of the costs of covered benefits.
5. Find 24-hour care

For bruises, bumps, and sore throats, your Premera plan includes urgent care within your Partner System and virtual Teladoc® services. Both have 24-hour options available. For life-threatening situations, go to the nearest emergency room.
