About this file
This is a Schedule of Benefits document for the City of Amarillo's Open Access Aetna Select Option II Plan (Plan 3A), effective January 1, 2025, administered by Aetna Life Insurance Company under contract number MSA-0737475. The document outlines comprehensive medical coverage for city employees and their dependents, including preventive care, emergency services, behavioral health, hospitalization, specialist services, therapy services, diagnostic testing, and prescription drug benefits. The plan establishes specific cost-sharing mechanisms through deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance percentages that vary by service type and provider network status. An individual annual deductible of $1,500 applies (family deductible of $3,000), with a maximum out-of-pocket limit of $5,000 per individual ($10,000 family annually). The plan includes numerous preventive services covered at 100% with no deductible, including immunizations, cancer screenings, routine physical exams, contraceptive counseling, and tobacco cessation counseling.
Coverage details specify in-network copayments ranging from $25 for primary care physician visits to $50 for specialist visits, with subsequent services covered at 100% after the copayment is satisfied and no deductible applied. Most other in-network services operate at 80% coinsurance after deductible satisfaction. Notable limitations include hearing aids limited to $2,000 every three years, home health care limited to 40 visits annually, spinal manipulation limited to 20 visits yearly, and skilled nursing facility coverage limited to 60 days per year. Certain services such as non-emergency ambulance ground transportation and non-urgent urgent care facility use are not covered. The plan aligns with federal protections against surprise billing for out-of-network emergency services under the No Surprises Act.

Schedule of benefits
This schedule of benefits (schedule) lists the deductibles, copayments or payment percentage, if any apply to the covered services you receive under the plan. You should review this schedule to become aware of these and any limits that apply to these services.
How your cost share works The deductibles and copayments, if any, listed in the schedule below are the amounts that you pay for covered services.
- For the covered services under your medical plan, you will be responsible for the dollar amount
- For pharmacy benefits where a percentage cost share acts like a copayment, you will be responsible for the percentage amount Payment percentage amounts, if any, listed in the schedule below are what the plan will pay for covered services.
Sometimes your cost share shows a combination of your dollar amount copayment that you will be responsible for and the payment percentage that your plan will pay.
You are responsible to pay any deductibles, copayments and remaining payment percentage, if they apply and before the plan will pay for any covered services.
This plan doesn’t cover every health care service. You pay the full amount of any health care service you get that is not a covered service.
This plan has limits for some covered services. For example, these could be visit, day or dollar limits.
They may be:
- Based on a rolling, 12 month period starting with the date of your most recent visit under this plan See the schedule for more information about limits.
Your cost share may vary if the covered service is preventive or not. Ask your physician or contact us if you have a question about what your cost share will be.
For examples of how cost share and deductible work, go to the Using your Aetna benefits section under Individuals & Families at https://www.aetna.com/
Important note:
Covered services are subject to the deductible, maximum out-of-pocket, limits, copayment or payment percentage unless otherwise stated in this schedule. The Surprise bill section in the booklet explains your protections from a surprise bill.
How your deductible works The deductible is the amount you pay for covered services each year before the plan starts to pay. This is in addition to any copayment or payment percentage you pay when you get covered services from an in-network provider. This schedule shows the deductible amounts that apply to your plan. Once you have met your deductible, we will start sharing the cost when you get covered services. You will continue to pay copayments or payment percentage, if any, for covered services after you meet your deductible.
How your PCP or physician office visit cost share works You will pay the PCP cost share when you get covered services from any PCP.
How your maximum out-of-pocket works This schedule shows the maximum out-of-pocket limits that apply to your plan. Once you reach your maximum out-of-pocket limit, your plan will pay for covered services for the remainder of that year.

General coverage provisions This section explains the deductible, maximum out-of-pocket limit and limitations listed in this schedule.
Deductible provisions The deductible may not apply to some covered services. You still pay the copayment or payment percentage, if any, for these covered services.
Individual deductible You pay for covered services each year before the plan begins to pay. This individual deductible applies separately to you and each covered dependent. After the amount paid reaches the individual deductible, this plan starts to pay for covered services for the rest of the year.
Family deductible You pay for covered services each year before the plan begins to pay. After the amount paid for covered services reaches this family deductible, this plan starts to pay for covered services for the rest of the year. To satisfy this family deductible for the rest of the year, the combined covered services that you and each of your covered dependents incur toward the individual deductible must reach this family deductible in a year. When this happens in a year, the individual deductibles for you and your covered dependents are met for the rest of the year.
Copayment This is the dollar amount you pay for covered services. In most plans, you pay this after you meet your deductible limit.
Payment Percentage This is the percentage of the bill you pay after you meet your deductible.
Maximum out-of-pocket limit The maximum out-of-pocket limit is the most you will pay per year in copayments, payment percentage and deductible, if any, for covered services. Covered services that are subject to the maximum out-of-pocket limit include those provided under the medical plan and the outpatient prescription drug plan.
Individual maximum out-of-pocket limit This plan may have an individual and family maximum out-of-pocket limit. As to the individual maximum out-of-pocket limit, each of you must meet your maximum out-of-pocket limit separately.
After you or your covered dependents meet the individual maximum out-of-pocket limit, this plan will pay 100% of the eligible charge for covered services that would apply toward the limit for the rest of the year for that person.
Family maximum out-of-pocket limit After you or your covered dependents meet the family maximum out-of-pocket limit, this plan will pay 100% of the eligible charge for covered services that would apply toward the limit for the remainder of the year for all covered family members. The family maximum out-of-pocket limit is a cumulative maximum out-of-pocket limit for all family members.
To satisfy this maximum out-of-pocket limit for the rest of the year, the following must happen:
The family maximum out-of-pocket limit is met by a combination of family members No one person within a family will contribute more than the individual maximum out-of-pocket limit amount in a year
If the maximum out-of-pocket limit does not apply to a covered service, your cost share for that service will not count toward satisfying the maximum out-of-pocket limit amount.
Certain costs that you have do not apply toward the maximum out-of-pocket limit. These include:
All costs for non-covered services which are identified in the booklet and the schedule Costs for non-urgent use of an urgent care provider
Your financial responsibility and decisions regarding benefits We base your financial responsibility for the cost of covered services on when the service or supply is provided, not when payment is made. Benefits will be pro-rated to account for treatment or portions of stays that occur in more than one year. Decisions regarding when benefits are covered are subject to the terms and conditions of the booklet.
Prescription drug – outpatient maximum out-of-pocket limit provisions Covered services that are subject to the maximum out-of-pocket limit include covered services provided under the medical plan and the prescription drug plan.
The maximum out-of-pocket limit is the most you will pay per year in copayments, payment percentage and deductible, if any, for covered services. This plan may have an individual and family maximum out-of-pocket limit.
