What term should be used for describing limiting the lower range of a number?
We (often) use "capped" to refer to a limit on the upper value of a range.
What is the analogous term for limiting the lower end of the range?

I want a past tense word that means "a hard lower limit has been placed (on something)".
In the same way that we might say "Your medical costs have been capped at $5000" (that's the most you will pay), I seek a word where I can say "Your medical costs have been XXXXed at $200" (that's the least you will pay).
