- *If you use a Non-preferred provider under FEP Blue Standard, you generally pay any difference between our allowance and the billed amount, in addition to any share of our allowance shown in the table above. Certain out-of-pocket costs do not apply if Medicare is your primary coverage for medical services (it pays first).
- † Subject to the calendar year deductible: $350 per person or $700 in total for Self + One or Self & Family contracts.
