Copays, Deductibles, and Coinsurance
There is much to consider in selecting a health insurance plan. In addition to the cost of the coverage and the providers on the plan, you will also want to consider the details below.
What is copay
Copayment, often referred to as a “copay,” is a fixed amount that a patient pays for covered health care services, typically at the time of service. The amount can vary depending on the type of service or medication. Copayments are a form of cost-sharing between the insurance company and the insured individual, with the insurance company covering the remaining cost of the service after the copayment is made
What is deductible ?
In health insurance, a deductible is the amount of money you are required to pay out of pocket for covered health care services before your insurance plan starts to pay. For example, if your plan has a $1,000 deductible, you will need to pay the first $1,000 of covered services yourself. After you have paid your deductible, your insurance plan will begin to cover some or all of the costs of your care, depending on your specific plan. Deductibles can vary widely depending on the plan, so it’s important to understand your plan’s deductible and how it works.
What is co Insurance?
Coinsurance in health insurance is the percentage of costs of a covered health care service that you are required to pay after you’ve paid your deductible. For example, if your coinsurance is 20%, you would pay 20% of the cost of a medical service, and your insurance company would pay the remaining 80%. Coinsurance is different from a copayment, where you pay a fixed amount (e.g., $20) for a covered service after you’ve paid your deductible
