A deductible is the amount you must pay before the insurance company begins to pay on your bills. This is an annual amount per insured person, although typically there will be a maximum amount of deductibles you will have to pay in a given year. For example, if your “per person” deductible is $500, and you have five people in your family covered under your health insurance, the maximum “family” deductible will usually be $1,500.

A deductible is the initial dollar amount you must pay out-of-pocket before an insurance company pays its share. It is usually a flat dollar amount. Usually the higher the deductible, the lower the premium. Coinsurance is the share or percentage of covered expenses you must pay in addition to the deductible. For example, your policy may pay 80% of covered charges after you pay the deductible. You would then pay the remaining 20% as coinsurance until a maximum out-of-pocket expense is reached.
