      Note: Estimate accuracy may be impacted by values entered in this screen.

      COPAY
      Edit Copay A fixed amount (for example, $15) you pay each time for a covered health care service, usually when you get the service. The amount can vary by the type of covered health care service.
      DEDUCTIBLE
      Edit Deductible The amount you owe for covered health care services before your health insurance plan begins to pay. For example, if your deductible is $1,000, your plan won't pay anything until you've paid $1,000 annually for covered services. Some plans pay for certain health care services before you've met your deductible.
      CO-INSURANCE
      Edit Co-Insurance Your share of the costs of a covered health care service, calculated as a percentage (for example, 20%) of the allowed amount for the service. You pay coinsurance after you've met your deductible. For example, if the health insurance plan's allowed amount for an office visit is $100 and you've met your deductible, your 20% coinsurance payment would be $20. The health insurance plan pays the rest.
      CO-INSURANCE MAX
      Edit Co-Insurance Max The maximum amount of coinsurance a patient can be required to pay.
      OUT-OF-POCKET MAXIMUM
      Edit Out-Of-Pocket Maximum The most you'll have to pay for covered services in a policy period (usually one year). After you reach this amount, your health plan will pay 100% for covered essential health benefits.
      OUT-OF-POCKET REMAINING
      Edit Out-Of-Pocket Remaining The amount remaining towards reaching your maximum out-of-pocket amount.
