Coinsurance is the percentage of your medical bill you share with your insurance company after youâve paid your deductible. Unless you have a policy with 100 percent coverage for everything, you have to pay a coinsurance amount. You have an â80/20â plan.
Deductibles are provisions that require the member to accumulate a specific amount of medical bills before benefits are provided. For example, if a memberâs policy contains a $500 deductible, the member must accumulate and pay $500 out of pocket before the insurance carrier will pay benefits. Once the patient has met their deductible, the carrier usually pays a percentage of the bill. The patient is liable for the unpaid percentage.
