Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between coinsurance and a copay?
- A copay is a flat dollar amount for a service (e.g. $30 for a visit). Coinsurance is a percentage of the bill that you pay after meeting your deductible.
- Does coinsurance count toward my out-of-pocket maximum?
- Yes. Deductible payments and coinsurance both count toward the out-of-pocket maximum. Once you hit that cap, the insurer pays 100% of further allowed costs.
- Do I still pay coinsurance before meeting my deductible?
- No. You pay the full allowed cost until the deductible is met; coinsurance only applies to the amount of the bill above your remaining deductible.
