First, Medicare pays its share. Then, you consent to pay the first $2,490 of your share (in 2022). That’s your maximum out-of-pocket on this plan.
For example, if you had a hospital stay earlier this year, Medicare Part A will cover that except for the Part A deductible ($1,556). Because you have a $2,490 deductible on your Medicare Supplement plan, you’ll pay the $1,556.
If you have other charges during the year, you’ll pay your share only until you’ve hit the $2,490 limit. After that, this plan will cover all of your share on all Part A and Part B services.
