The most you have to pay for covered services in a plan year. After you spend this amount on deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance for in-network care and services, your health plan pays 100% of the costs of covered benefits.

The out-of-pocket limit doesn’t include:

Your monthly premiums

  • Anything you spend for services your plan doesn’t cover
  • Out-of-network care and services
  • Costs above the allowed amount for a service that a provider may charge

The out-of-pocket limit for Marketplace plans varies, but can’t go over a set amount each year.
