What are Deductible, Coinsurance, Copay, Out of Pocket Maximum?
Deductible means a specified dollar amount of covered expenses which must be incurred during a calendar year (unless otherwise stated in a benefit schedule) before any other covered expenses can be considered for payment according to the applicable benefit percentage. The participant is responsible for the amount of the deductible.
Coinsurance means that portion of eligible expenses to be paid by the plan and the participant in accordance with the coverage provisions stated in the plan. It is the basis used to determine the amount of covered expenses which are to be paid by the participant.
Copay means that amount shown in any benefit schedule which is the participants responsibility for charges incurred for the doctor’s office visits, prescription drugs or other services.
Out of Pocket Maximum is the maximum participant expense per calendar year. The out of pocket expense is the total of deductible, coinsurance and copays paid during a calendar year.
