How Does Insurance Coverage Work?

The portion you are responsible to pay for is often called a copayment, deductible or coinsurance.  If you are required by your insurance plan to pay a deductible or percent of allowable charges, the “sticker price” you see is reduced by the amount negotiated by your particular insurance company.
