Do we provide a valuable service? Do you think we are good at what we do? Let us know!
A set amount you must pay out-of-pocket each time you use a particular service, such as a doctor visit. So if a doctor visit is $100, you might pay a $10 co-pay and your insurance would pay $90, once you’ve met your deductible.
The Short Answer: It depends. You have to read your policy very closely.
Co-Insurance is way to split payment for specific services between you and your insurer. Typically only certain high cost services will have a co-insurance payment, like hospitalization. With a co-insurance amount (usually a percentage of the allowable charge), you will always pay that percentage each time you use that specific service.
