Key Terms
Annual DeductibleThe annual deductible
is the amount of covered expenses you
must pay first each year before the plan
pays benefits. Once a covered individual
has satisfied the individual deductible, the
plan will begin to pay a percent of that
persons expenses (coinsurance). Once the
total expenses for 2 or more people reach
the family deductible, the plan will begin to
pay the appropriate coinsurance level for all
covered family members.
