Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your TME Card benefits:

TME Benefits = (Total Medical Expenses × Coverage Percentage) - Primary Insurance Coverage

Where:

Total Medical Expenses = Your total out-of-pocket medical expenses for the year
Coverage Percentage = The percentage of expenses your TME Card covers
Primary Insurance Coverage = The amount covered by your primary insurance

This formula provides an estimate of your potential benefits. Actual amounts may vary based on your specific circumstances and the terms of your TME Card plan.

Example Calculation

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works:

Input	Value
Total Medical Expenses	$12,000
TME Card Plan Type	Standard
Coverage Percentage	70%
Primary Insurance Coverage	$5,000

Using the formula:

TME Benefits = ($12,000 × 0.70) - $5,000 = $8,400 - $5,000 = $3,400

In this example, the calculator would estimate that you would receive approximately $3,400 in TME Card benefits for the year.
