Glossary of Terms

Co-payment

Once your deductible is met, you pay a fixed amount called a co-payment, usually at time of service. This amount varies by plan and is set by your health insurance plan. Typically, if you have a lower monthly premium, you will have a higher co-payment. 

  • Health Coverage
Coinsurance

Coinsurance is the portion you pay for a covered health care service, calculated as a percentage. Let’s say your insurance plan allows for an office visit that is charged at $100. Your coinsurance percentage is 20%, which means you pay $20. In addition, you would also pay any deductible you have remaining. If you have not met your deductible, you would pay the full $100.

  • Health coverage
Deductible

A deductible is the amount you are responsible to pay before your insurance will begin paying for services. After this deductible is met, you will typically only pay co-payments and coinsurance. For family plans, there is normally an individual deductible for each person covered by the plan and a family deductible, which applies to everyone. That means, in a family of four, if one person meets his or her individual deductible, it applies to the family deductible, bringing that total down. If two other family members meet their deductibles and the family number goes to zero, all four individuals are considered to have meet their deductibles.

  • Health coverage
In-network co-payment

Providers who contract with your health insurance plan or company are considered “in-network.” Co-payment through in-network service providers is typically less costly than out-of-network providers. (See “co-payment” for definition.)

  • Health coverage
In-network coinsurance

Providers who contract with your health insurance plan or company are considered “in-network.” Coinsurance through in-network service providers is typically less than out-of-network providers. (See “coinsurance” for definition.)

  • Health coverage
Network

Your network of health providers, suppliers and facilities have contracted with your health insurer or plan to provide you services.

  • Health coverage
Out-of-network co-payment

Providers who have not contracted with your health insurance plan or company are considered “out-of-network.” Co-payment through out-of-network service providers is typically more costly than out-of-network providers. (See “co-payment” for definition.)

  • Health coverage
Out-of-network coinsurance

Providers who have not contracted with your health insurance plan or company are considered “out-of-network.” Coinsurance through out-of-network service providers is typically more costly than in-network providers. (See “coinsurance” for definition.)

  • Health coverage
Out-of-pocket limit

There is a limit to how much you pay out-of-pocket for health care in one calendar year. After you pay this total, your health plan will pay 100% of your covered benefits. Some health insurance or plans will not count all of your co-payments, deductibles, coinsurance payments, out-of-network payments or other expenses toward this limit.

  • Health coverage
Preauthorization (prior authorization, precertification)

Before you get a service or fill a prescription, you may be required to have approval from your health insurer or plan. Preauthorization is not a promise your health insurance or plan will cover the cost.
