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.
Save. Health insurance often has a deductible--an upfront cost that the insured person must pay before the insurance company will cover a cost. To meet a deductible on a health insurance plan, you must spend the full deductible amount sometime during the plan year. After a deductible has been met, you are typically not required to pay any more money toward deductibles until the next year.
