Medical Utilize in-network benefits for the most cost effective approach. Medical Provider is the exclusive medical healthcare provider for Gas and Oil Association of WV, Inc. medical plans. You have the choice of 2 medical plans. Each option offers you the ability to choose the benefit plan that best meets your benefit and budgetary needs. Plan Year Deductible: The deductible is a specified dollar amount that you must pay for certain covered services per plan year. There are individual and family deductibles depending on your coverage tier selection, which must be met before your plan will pay for certain services. Once your deductible is met, some services may only require a copay. Plan Year Out-of-Pocket Maximum: The plan year out-of-pocket maximum is the amount of covered expenses - including deductible, coinsurance, and copayments—that must be paid by you, either individually or combined as a covered family. Once the out-of-pocket maximum for the relevant coverage tier (individual or family) is met, covered services that would require a copayment or coinsurance will be covered by Medical Provider in full. There are separate out-of- pocket maximums for In-Network services and Out-of-Network services. 4
