Participant

Benefits are provided for a
routine physical examination, screening x-rays and laboratory services, and
routine immunizations performed by a physician with an annual maximum of $400
for the participant and $300 for the spouse. If expenses exceed the $400 or $300
annual maximum, this plan will not pay the additional costs.
Each
individual is responsible for the first $10 of covered expenses when a physician
bills an office visit. Each individual is also responsible for an additional $10
of covered expenses when a nonpreferred provider bills an office visit (for care
received in Washington State only). This $10 or $20 office visit copayment does
not apply toward the $200 annual deductible or $2,300 annual coinsurance
maximum.
