A deductible is the initial amount that you must pay before your insurance plan begins to pay for your bills. Typically, a deductible is a flat dollar amount (e.g. $250 or $500). If you have a $250 deductible, you insurance company should pay all of the covered charges EXCEPT the first $250, which is your responsibility to pay.
