* Plan F
also has an option called a high deductible Plan F. This high deductible plan
pays the same benefits as Plan F after one has paid a calendar year [$1860]
deductible. Benefits from high deductible Plan F will not begin until
out-of-pocket expenses exceed [$1860]. Out-of-pocket expenses for this deductible
are expenses that would ordinarily be paid by the policy. These expenses
include the Medicare deductibles for Part A and Part B, but do not include the
plan's separate foreign travel emergency deductible.

Plans
F and G also have a high deductible option which require first paying a plan
deductible of [$2200] before the plan begins to pay. Once the plan
deductible is met, the plan pays 100% of covered services for the rest of the
calendar year. High deductible plan G does not cover the Medicare Part B
deductible. However, high deductible plans F and G count your payment of the
Medicare Part B deductible toward meeting the plan deductible.

Plans
K and L pay 100% of covered services for the rest of the calendar year once you

Plan
N pays 100% of the Part B coinsurance, except for a co-payment of up to $20 for
some office visits and up to a $50 co-payment for emergency room visits that do
not result in an inpatient admission.
