This first table explains the Basic plan. There are optional riders you can add to enhance coverage on the Basic plan, 75/50 plan, and 50/50 plan. You cannot add these riders to the high deductible plan. Some insurance companies allow you to pick and choose and others, such as Unitedhealthcare, provide them only as prearranged packages. Anthem provides prearranged packages and allows you to pick and choose.

There is a separate table below comparing the least comprehensive plans: High Deductible, 75/50 and 50/50. These three plans are not as straight forward.

This table compares the least comprehensive plans: High Deductible, 75/25 and 50/50.

Until you've met the Deductible of $2,700 in 2023, High Deductible (HD) will not pay anything.
The Medicare Part B deductible of $226 is included in $2,700 deductible.

Plan 75/25 and Plan 50/50 have an Out of Pocket Maximum (OOPM) instead of a deductible. These plans provide coverage before you meet the OOPM.
Once you have met the OOPM of $6,940 in 2023 on Plan 75/25 and the OOPM of $3,470 on Plan 50/50, these plans will pay at 100% for the remainder of that year.
The $226 Part B deductible is not included in these Out of Pocket Maximums.
