If you click details and click through to the provider summary:

The explanation is "it's a typo".

Medical and Prescription Drug combined: $6,550 individual/$13,100 family for In-Network Providers; $13,100 individual/$26,200 family for Out-of-Network Providers.

$26,200 is a typo? or correct? Awful close to my approximation of $30k.

It's not all that close. It's also an out of network, out of pocket maximum, not a deductible.

Eliminating networks is certainly something the US should do if it wants to do more than pretend that people have good access to healthcare.

When you're undergoing short-notice heart surgery (trust me), it's very easy to rack up out-of-network costs fast.

What was your out-of-network out of pocket maximum before ACA?

You've also confused deductible with out of pocket in your original post, on top of rounding up by 15%.

Ah, that explains it. Thank you.
