Question

Transcribed Image Text:contains information on the company's health insurance options. Aerosystems offers its employees the choice between a private
insurance company plan (Blue Cross/Blue Shield), an HMO, and a PPO. Ronald needs to review the packet and make a decision on
which health care program fits his needs. The following is an overview of that information.
a) The monthly premium cost to Ronald for the Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan will be $49.51. For all doctor office visits, prescriptions, and
major medical charges, Ronald will be responsible for 20 percent, and the insurance company will cover 80 percent of covered
charges. The annual deductible is $640.
b) The HMO is provided to employees free of charge. The copayment for doctors' office visits and major medical charges is $20.
Prescription copayments are $10. The HMO pays 100 percent after Ronald's copayment. There is no annual deductible.
c) The POS requires that the employee pay $31.68 per month to supplement the cost of the program with the company's payment. If
Ron uses health care providers within the plan, he pays the copayments as described above for the HMO with no annual
deductible. He can also choose to use a health care provider out of the network and pay 20 percent of all charges after he pays a
$640 deductible. The POS will pay for 80 percent of those covered visits.
Ronald decided to review his medical bills from the previous year to see what costs he had incurred and to help him evaluate his
choices. He visited his general physician four times during the year at a cost of $160 for each visit. He also spent $72 and $96 on two
prescriptions during the year. Assume Ron visited a physician outside of the network plan but had his prescriptions filled at a network-
approved pharmacy.
If Ronald selects the POS plan, what will his annual medical costs be? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to
2 decimal places.)
