Definitions
Cost sharing means the amount you pay for your healthcare services out of your own pocket, which is not covered by your insurance. This usually involves deductibles (the amount you pay before your insurance starts paying), coinsurance (a percentage of the cost you share for a service), and copayments (a fixed fee you pay for a service). However, it doesn't include the monthly premium payments you make for your insurance plan, extra charges from out-of-network providers, or costs for services that your insurance doesn't cover.
Each health plan has a group number that identifies the specific benefits associated with your plan.

Rx, also referred to as prescription, is an official document written by a licensed medical practitioner that authorizes a patient to be provided a medicine or treatment.
Medical care rendered by a specialist (e.g., urologist, cardiologist) rather than a primary care physician.
