Simone

Simone and her husband have three kids. Everyone in the family gets their annual physicals, and she and her husband don't smoke. They use in-network doctors and Preferred Medical and Wellness Providers when possible. But this is a tough year for the family due to serious health conditions and a car accident.

Let's take a look…

Provider Billed Cost
All of the family members get their physicals, and the kids get their immunizations.

Everyone gets sick a few times. Each time they receive multiple generic 30-day prescriptions to help them get better.

$100 visit x 10
$20 generic 30-day x 15

Simone's two sons see a specialist twice for ongoing conditions. The doctor gives both boys a preferred brand 90-day prescription to treat their conditions and Simone refills them one more time.

$140 visit x 4
$340 preferred brand 90-day x 4

Simone's infant daughter has a serious case of bronchitis and is taken to the ER. They keep her in the hospital for two days of observation.

After her husband is released, his doctor sends him to physical therapy for several months to help with his recovery.
