What is a deductible?
A deductible is the amount you may need to pay for certain covered services before your plan starts sharing some costs. Compare it alongside the premium, provider network, prescriptions, and out-of-pocket maximum because plan details vary.
What is an out-of-pocket maximum?
Your out-of-pocket maximum is the yearly limit on what you may pay for covered, in-network care. It generally includes your deductible, copayments, and coinsurance, but not monthly premiums or certain other charges.
