Insurance 101 / Terms

We know insurance terms can be confusing, but it’s important to know how YOUR specific plan works. Below you will find some common insurance terms and definitions to better help you understand your policy/ Always call your insurance to verify coverage if you are unsure of how your plan works. 

Premium

The amount that must be paid for your health insurance or plan. You and/or your employer usually pay it monthly, quarterly or yearly.

Copay

A fixed amount (for example, $15) you pay for a health care service.

Deductible

The amount you owe before your health insurance begins to pay; for example, if your deductible is $1000 your plan won’t pay anything until you’ve met your $1000 deductible. The deductible may not apply to all services. 

Allowed Amount

Maximum amount on which payment is based for covered health care services; for example, if an office bills $180 for an appointment but the insurance allowed amount is only $150, you are responsible for any balance based off of the allowed amount rather than the full $180.

Coinsurance

Your share of the costs of a covered health care service, calculated as a percent (for example, 20%) of the allowed amount for the service. 

HMO

A type of insurance plan which involved the selection of a Primary Care Physician (PCP) and IPA/PPG (also known as a medical group). This type of plan requires authorization for certain specialists and diagnostics.
