- First three pints of blood for a covered medical procedure
- Part A hospice care co-insurance or co-payment

Out-Of-Pocket Annual Limit
Plan K limits your annual out-of-pocket expenditures to $4,660 for approved Medicare-related services. After the $4,660 annual out-of-pocket limit is reached, Plan K pays 100% of covered services for the rest of the calendar year.
