The annual deductible is the aggregate maximum amount that the insurance policy requires the insured(s) to pay over the course of a year in deductibles. Stated otherwise, a deductible will normally be incurred for each physician's visit, medical test, or other procedure.
High-deductible health plans, also referred to as âconsumer-directedâ plans, are plans whose deductibles surpass a limit set by the IRS. For 2015, those deductibles are no less than $1,300 for individual coverage or $2,600 for family coverage. For the insurer, a higher deductible means you are responsible for a greater amount of your initial health care costs, saving them money. For you, the benefit comes in lower monthly premiums.
