A health insurance plan's cost includes the deductible and part of the medical bills.
Copayment is a fixed amount paid for a specific service or prescription medication.
Copayments are one of the ways health insurers split costs with the policyholder after the deductible is hit.
Copayments may also be required for specific services before reaching the deductible.
The policyholder will pay copayments until they reach the maximum out-of-pocket amount.

Coinsurance is a percentage of the cost that the policyholder pays for covered services.
Coinsurance is typically a percentage of the cost, e.g., 20% of the cost of covered services until the out-of-pocket maximum is reached.
Maximum out-of-pocket is the most a policyholder will have to pay for covered health care services in a year.
Payments made towards the deductible, copayments, and coinsurance payments go towards the out-of-pocket limit.

Factors to consider when picking a plan include more than just cost.
Not all plans cover all doctors, so it's essential to check if a doctor is part of the plan.
The policyholder should ensure their preferred doctor is part of the plan.

Health insurance may not always cover every aspect, and supplemental insurance can be helpful.
Supplemental insurance policies can be bought in addition to a health insurance plan.
Examples of supplemental insurance policies include dental, vision, GAP, and critical illness insurance.

There are different health insurance plan options to choose from, depending on individual needs.
A policyholder with no known medical issues may opt for a lower premium payment with a higher deductible and copay option.
A policyholder with a known health issue may want to search for a lower deductible.

Health insurance doesn't cover everything.
There are four ways health insurance companies might share costs with the policyholder: deductible, copayment, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket limit.
