  • Health Insurance Vocabulary you Must Understand

  • Premium- a fixed sum of money has to be deposited by you to your insurance plan. This is called a premium. It is usually deposited once every month. It is necessary to pay this amount even if you don't use any medical care in that month.
  • Deductible- this is an amount which you have to initially pay for you medical care, before the company starts to make any payments for your care. There are plans which have lower deductibles coming up to $500 or even a ZERO dollar deductible (Beware of very low or non existent deductibles, Monthly Premium payments will be very high). Others can have higher deductibles coming up to $4,000. Many of the plans entitle you with free medical services and care before you have met your deductible.
  • Copayment- while receiving medical care a copayment is a fixed sum of money which you pay after you have provided your deductible. A simple example will help in better understanding- if you visit the doctor for a checkup and it costs $150, you have to pay only $25 (Copay), the rest will be covered by your plan.
  • Coinsurance- it is same as copayment, a percentage of the cost is covered by you. For example: on a medical bill of $100, 20% of the payment is to be made by you, while your plan covers the other 80%. Verify your Health's Plan formula, 20% - 80%, in this case you pay 20% and your Insurance Company 80% of the cost, but the formula can vary depending on your plan.
