What is a deductible?
The deductible is the amount you must pay toward a claim before your insurance begins to pay. For example, if you have a $500 claim and your policy has a $100 deductible, you will pay $100 and your insurance will pay $400. Selecting higher deductibles is one way to reduce your premiums. Of course, you must decide whether the monthly savings are worth the risk of paying more in the event of an accident.
A deductible is specific dollar amount an individual or family must pay out of their own pockets toward covered expenses before plan coverage begins. Deductibles are usually based on a calendar year. You can find your deductible level in your summary of benefits or in your employee benefit booklet. For example, if a plan has a $1,000 individual deductible, the deductible is met once the first $1,000 of the covered medical expenses for that year have been paid by the covered person. After that, the plan begins to pay toward the cost of covered services.
A deductible is the amount of annual medical expenses that a health plan member must pay before the plan will begin to cover expenses. For example, if your plan has a $500 deductible, you will pay the first $500 of your medical expenses before your health plan begins paying the expenses. Only expenses for covered services apply towards the deductible. For example, if you paid $100 for a visit to a chiropractor but the plan does not consider chiropractic care a covered expense, then the $100 will not apply toward your annual deductible. Q) What is the difference between an in-network and an out-of-network medical provider? An in-network medical provider is within the approved network of providers for a particular health plan. Out-of-network providers are not on the list. If you visit a doctor within the network, the amount you will be responsible for paying will be less than if you go to an out-of-network doctor. In many cases, the insurance company will not pay anything for services yo
