      The more complete phrase is "Maximum Out-of-Pocket".   
      
    From Quicken Health.   
      
   Out-Of-Pocket Maximum   
      
   An Out-of-Pocket maximum is the most that you should have to pay for   
   your healthcare during a plan period (usually one year). Before reaching   
   the out-of-pocket maximum, you pay for part of your medical care, such   
   as copays and coinsurance. Once you have paid the amount set by the   
   out-of-pocket maximum, your insurance will pay 100% of the allowed   
   amount for your covered healthcare expenses, up to a preset benefit   
   maximum. Note that ineligible expenses -- such as elective plastic   
   surgery -- aren't counted against your out-of-pocket maximum.
