out-of-pocket max

Insurance payment limit

Out-of-pocket max is the maximum amount you pay for covered healthcare in a plan year before insurance covers 100% of costs.

Once you hit this ceiling through deductibles, copays, and coinsurance, the insurer pays everything else.

After my surgery pushed me past my out-of-pocket max, the rest of the year's care was free.

Also called out-of-pocket maximum.
