A family deductible is the maximum your family will pay towards certain covered medical expenses before plan benefits start. See your coverage documents for details.

• Once you met this family deductible, individual deductibles no longer apply (see example below). 
• Only certain services covered by your policy apply to the deductible.
• This deductible must be met each plan year.
• Most Priority Health plans pay 100% for preventive care services such as physicals whether you have met your deductible or not.

Example:  Say you have a $1,500 individual/$3,000 family deductible. 

• You pay $1,200 for covered medical services for yourself.
• Then you pay $900 each for two other family members.

You've paid $3,000 total so you have met your family deductible and your family will begin receiving plan benefits, even though none of you have met your individual deductible.
