    Step 1

    Identify the service-specific plan rule

    Use the exact row in your current Summary of Benefits and Coverage. This tool does not automatically add a deductible, copay, and coinsurance together.

    Choose only what the current plan document says for this exact service.

    The out-of-pocket maximum is applied only when covered in-network status is confirmed.

    Step 2

    Enter plan-year progress and the allowed amount

    Use the insurer portal, latest EOB, SBC, or a plan-recognized provider estimate. Do not enter a name, member ID, diagnosis, account number, or claim number.

    What you pay each month for coverage. Premiums are shown separately from cost sharing.

    The plan-negotiated or recognized amount—not the provider's billed charge.

    Whole number of similar visits using the same plan rule.

    Individual deductible that applies to this service and network tier.

    Current processed-claim accumulator—not a pending provider charge.

    Individual covered in-network plan-year limit that applies here.

    Current processed-claim accumulator for the same limit.

    Model boundary: This estimates one repeated service pattern. Separate facility, professional, laboratory, imaging, anesthesia, medication, equipment, and out-of-network claims may need separate estimates.
