Frequently Asked Questions: Medical Insurance
Why Do I Need Health Insurance?
You can think of health insurance as a kind of defense against unpredictable events. If you or someone in your family has an emergency or a chronic illness, for example, health insurance helps pay the cost of doctor’s visits, hospital trips, ambulance rides, prescriptions and anything else related to medical expenses.
Having an affordable medical insurance plan also ensures that you can take advantage of preventative and wellness services for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
What Is a Deductible?
A deductible is the amount that you pay for covered health care services before your insurance company starts to pay.
For example, if your health insurance plan’s deductible is $1,500, you would be responsible for paying the first $1,500 of covered services on your own, and then, your health insurance covers the rest. Usually after the deductible is surpassed, you’re only responsible for co-pays and coinsurance for covered services.
In general, plans that have higher monthly premiums typically have lower deductibles, and plans with lower monthly premiums have higher deductibles.
What Is a Copay?
A copay or copayment, is the amount you pay for covered health care services. Whatever portion is left over is paid for by your insurance company.
As a simplified example, say the cost of an office visit to see your primary care physician is $200 without insurance. If your copay for this office visit is $40, it means your insurance company will pay the remaining $160.
Copays are a fixed dollar amount (as opposed to a percentage) and typically vary by plan.
What Is Coinsurance?
Coinsurance is directly related to your deductible; it’s the percentage of costs you pay after your deductible has been met. Once you pay the percentage you’re responsible for, the health insurance plan you’ve enrolled in pays the rest.
For example, if your plan is classified as 80/20, it means that, once you’ve met your deductible, your plan covers 80% of the costs and you cover 20% — until you reach your maximum out-of-pocket limit.
If your plan is classified as 70/30, which is another common coinsurance rate, your plan covers 70% of the costs, and you cover 30%.
It should be noted that coinsurance only applies to covered services, so if you receive medical care that’s not included in the covered services under your plan, you may be responsible for paying the entire bill despite having met your deductible.
