I don't know--I think that he's covered under the same GIC umbrella as every other state employee. His out of pocket will depend on which of the plans he has, and there are at least 2-3 plan levels for every provider. If he has the full Commonwealth Indemnity plan (which costs close to $600/month for a family plan) it won't be a lot.

And my out of pocket would have been a lot more if I went out of network. It's one of the reasons we switched from GIC's Community Choice to Harvard Pilgrim--Falmouth Hospital isn't part of the GIC network. We would have had to pay over a grand out of pocket. But it is in HP.
