What is an Out-of-Pocket Maximum?

It is the absolute most you will have to pay for covered medical services in a year. Once you hit this limit, your insurance pays 100% of all covered costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to perform nasal washes on a newborn?
Yes, nasal washes are generally safe for newborns. However, always use sterile saline and gentle suction, and it's wise to consult your pediatrician for guidance specific to your newborn.
How often can I do nasal washes on my baby?
You can perform nasal washes as needed, especially before feedings and sleep, to help clear congestion. Overuse is generally not a concern with sterile saline, but monitor your baby for any signs of irritation.
What is the difference between saline drops and saline spray for babies?
Saline drops typically release one or two drops at a time, offering more control for newborns. Saline sprays can sometimes be more forceful, so it's important to use infant-specific sprays and aim for a gentle mist.
