Imaging / Other
Outpatient Surgeon fee (for procedure)
Outpatient Facility fee (for procedure)
1 Deductible applies; if you’re covering dependents in HSA Copay option, you must meet the full family deductible before the plan begins to share the cost of non-preventive benefits.
2 Under Traditional Coinsurance, the deductible and out-of-pocket maximum apply to both in- and out-of-network services.
3 Eligible prescription drug expenses includes both in- and out-of-network pharmacy expenses.
4 Out-of-pocket maximum includes deductible, copays, and coinsurance for eligible expenses.
5 Virtual health visits through your medical plan administrator — either through Horizon CareOnline, for Horizon members or myuhc.com/virtualvisits for UHC members.
Remember:
Amounts accumulated toward any lifetime maximums under the plan (e.g., infertility) are carried over from year to year, regardless of whether you change coverage options or plan administrators during Annual Enrollment.
Additional Support
Manage your health with supplemental health and well-being programs including no cost expert medical opinion services and other Medical Support Programs. Save money through Reimbursement Accounts. Get help with expenses not covered under your medical plan through the supplemental health programs.
Note: If you are a new hire/newly eligible colleague, you’re eligible to enroll in supplemental health programs through the Benefit Extras Program. About two weeks after your hire/eligibility date, you will be able to visit Benefit Extras to learn/enroll. If you do not enroll when you are initially eligible, you may enroll during the next Annual Enrollment period.
Estimate costs before you receive care.
Visit your medical plan administrator’s website and use the cost estimator tools to find out how much a service may cost before you receive care.

Preventive Care
Services or supplies that aren’t provided for the treatment of an injury or illness. It includes, but is not limited to: routine physical exams, including: related X-rays and lab tests; immunizations and vaccines; screening tests; well-baby care; and well-adult care.
Virtual Visits
Virtual visits will be offered through your medical plan administrator.
For UnitedHealthcare (UHC):
Services will be available through myuhc.com/virtualvisits or by downloading the UnitedHealthcare App.
For Horizon BlueCross BlueShield (Horizon):
Services will be available through Horizon CareOnline, which can be found through the Horizonblue.com/Pfizer or the Horizon Blue App.
Deductible
Amount you pay for non-preventive covered services before your plan begins to pay.
Out-of-Pocket Maximum
The most you will pay out-of-pocket for eligible expenses in any given calendar year for covered services, including all deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. After you reach the out-of-pocket maximum, all remaining covered services will be paid by the plan at 100% for the remainder of the plan year. Note that different out-of-pocket maximums may apply for in-network and out-of-network care. Additionally, the out-of-pocket maximum for medical expenses is separate from the out-of-pocket maximum for prescription medications dispensed through a pharmacy, except under the HSA Copay, where the out-of-pocket maximum for medical and prescription medication expenses is combined.
Allowed Amount
The Allowed Amount for out-of-network services is determined by your medical plan administrator. It’s generally defined as 250% of the Medicare reimbursement rate. For certain other supplies and services, including those for which Medicare doesn’t provide a reimbursement rate, the Allowed Amount will be determined based on the method utilized by your medical plan administrator. Contact your medical plan administrator for details before receiving out-of-network services.
