Out of Pocket Maximum: Your Total Financial Risk

Think of it like a buffet with a fixed price menu. You know how much the buffet will cost, no matter how much you eat. Your Out of Pocket Maximum is the maximum amount of money you will spend towards your co-insurance bills. Once you've reached this amount, your health insurance bills are covered 100% for that year. (Except for your Co-Pay. Remember you always tip the waiter).
