First Choice VIP Care Plus Edgefield County, SC Medicare Advantage Plan

Maximum Out-of-Pocket (MOOP) Expense

The new healthcare law allows for a maximum limit of $6,700 on your out of pocket medical costs for 2019 Medicare Advantage plans. This amount is commonly called the plan MOOP (Maximum Out of Pocket). A plan's MOOP does not include your prescriptions or the monthly premiums you pay for your health plan.

Although the mandatory MOOP limit is $6,700, the Affordable Care Act law allows for a “Voluntary MOOP” that can be as low as $3,400. The MOOP on this plan is N/A. You need to take this figure into as much consideration as the premiums and the co-payments.

If you are comparing this Medicare Advantage plan with your Original Medicare benefits, take into consideration that the government does not have out-of-pocket limits on Medicare Parts A and B. With traditional Medicare the only way to protect yourself is to purchase a Medigap insurance policy to supplement your coverage.
