Wait!

We also need to remember that Rebecca has been paying for medical coverage from His paycheck. We'll add that in too!

Remember, Rebecca incurred $12,040 in total expenses.

In the CDHP, Rebecca pays up to the out-of-pocket max. After that the Company pays 100%.

In the PPO, she doesn’t reach the out-of-pocket max. She pays some copays, her deductible and still continues to pay coinsurance.

Rebecca could have saved several thousand dollars by using SurgeryPlus to schedule His surgery!
