Under certain health insurance plans, 'coinsurance' is the percentage of a covered medical expense you may be required to pay after you've paid your copayment and/or deductible. Not all health insurance plans require coinsurance.
It's a confusing concept, so here's an example:
Joe gets sick and goes to the doctor. He may pay a copayment for his office visit, but if the doctor orders special tests or x-rays, Joe may also be required to pay coinsurance for those tests. Say, for example, that Joe is given an x-ray and the total charge for the x-ray is $100. Even if Joe has already fulfilled his deductible for the year, he may still have to pay coinsurance toward that charge. If his health insurance policy requires 20% coinsurance, Joe will pay $20 toward the total cost of the x-ray, while his health insurance company will pay the remaining $80.

Facultative reinsurance and coinsurance?
Facultative reinsurance is a form of reinsurance in which the terms, conditions, and reinsurance premium is individually negotiated between the insurer and the reinsurer. There is no obligation on the reinsurer to accept the risk or on the insurer to reinsure it if it is not considered necessary. The main differences between facultative reinsurance and coinsurance is that the policyholder has no indication that reinsurance has been arranged. In coinsurance, the coinsurers and the proportion of the risk they are covering are shown on the policy schedule. Also, coinsurance involves the splitting of the premium charged to the policyholder between the coinsurers, whereas the reinsurers charge entirely separate reinsurance premiums.

Can you collect Medicare coinsurance in advance?
Medicare is an "80/20" plan. Medicare pays 80% of the bill and you are expected to pay 20%, unless you have a Medicare Supplement to pay the 20% for you. The 20% is your coinsurance. The coinsurance should be collected at time of service or billed to you after the service has been provided. If a provider is asking you to pay any money in advance prior to providing you a service, it may be time to seek a "second opinion."
Is coinsurance required after the deductible is met?
Yes, unless your insurance policy says 100% covered.
