[Topic] Out-of-Pocket Maximum [Definition] 
An annual limit on the amount of money individuals are required to pay out-of-pocket for health care costs, excluding premiums. The health reform law, beginning in 2014, prevents an employer from imposing cost sharing in amounts greater than the current out-of-pocket limits for high-deductible health plans ($5,950 for an individual policy or $11,900 for a family policy in 2010). These amounts will be adjusted annually.
