This is a percentage that you pay after you’ve met your deductible. For example, if your plan covers 80% of the cost for physical therapy, you pay 20%.
This is a fixed amount that you typically pay at the time you get care. For example, you might pay $40 when you see your doctor.
This is the amount you pay before your health plan starts to pay for some or all of your costs.
This is a group of providers, like doctors and clinics, that have a contract with a health plan. When you see a provider in your plan's network, you get lower rates.
This is a a cap on plan costs. Once you’ve paid this amount through deductibles, copays and coinsurance, your plan pays 100% of all covered costs for the rest of the plan year.
This is an authorization from your doctor, written on paper or sent electronically, to see another doctor for a specific health service.
