Example: A patient has a $500 deductible and a 20 percent coinsurance with an annual maximum out-of-pocket amount of $5,000. This patient must pay $500 with his/her own money before the insurance company starts to pay. When the insurance company does pay, it will pay 80 percent of the approved amount.
This happened in 1984 with a tigress which is now in captivity in China. Due to the fact that the Amur River runs directly through their Russian habitat the common name of the Siberian tiger has changed to reflect their modern-day statusand this subspecies is now usually referred to as the Amur tiger.
The Siberian âor Amur-tiger is considered a critically endangered species with the primary threats to itsâ survival in the wild being poaching and habitat loss from intensive logging and development. Tigers are most commonly poached for their fur and for their body parts used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is estimated that in 1991 alone, one-third of the Siberian tiger population was killed to meet the demand for their bones and other parts used in this practice. This even though the practice is now unlawful in China.
