Detailed explanation-1: -The word ‘Deductible’ is closely associated with insurance and it is the amount of money that you must pay before the insurer begins to cover the rest of the claim amount. How it works: If your insurance plan’s deductible is Rs. 50, 000, you will pay 100% of the eligible expenses until the bills total Rs. 50, 000.

Detailed explanation-2: -A deductible is the set amount of money you pay out of pocket for covered services per plan year before your insurance plan starts to pay. A copay is also a set amount of money, but it’s the fixed fee attached to certain covered services.

Detailed explanation-3: -Co-payment is the percentage of the claim that the insured agrees to pay from his/her pocket irrespective of the claim amount. It usually varies from 10% to 30% and is insisted mostly under senior citizen health insurance policies. The insurer only pays the balance claim amount.

Detailed explanation-4: -A copayment is an out of pocket payment that you make towards typical medical costs like doctor’s office visits or an emergency room visit. An out of pocket maximum is the set amount of money you will have to pay in a year on covered medical costs.

Detailed explanation-5: -As a general rule, copays do not count towards a health plan’s deductible. Copays typically apply to some services while the deductible applies to others.
