This is the amount you pay for covered health care services before your insurance plan starts to pay. With a $350 deductible, for example, you pay the first $350 of covered services yourself then you usually pay only your copayment or coinsurance for covered services.
Co-pay or Co-payment is a fixed amount for a covered service, paid by the patient, each time they visit a facility, usually when you receive the service. In most cases these payments do not go toward your deductible.
Co-insurance is a percentage of the cost for a health service or prescription drug, paid by the patient, after they have reached their deductible.
