What does eighty twenty coinsurance mean?
Eighty twenty coinsurance is usually expressed 80/20 by insurance companies. The first number (80) represents the percentage of payment an insurance company will pay for a service and the second number (20) is the percentage the person receiving the service is required to pay. Other popular coinsurance amounts are 70/30, 60/40, 50/50. It is important to note a couple of factors in determining when an insurance company will pay coinsurance. First, an insurance company will only pay 80% on what the insurance considers the "allowed" amount of a fee. Generally insurance companies have fee schedules which designate the maximum amount they will pay on any particular service. This allowed amount could be more or less than the fee that is charged for the service (usually the allowed amount is lower than the fee). Second, an insurance company will only pay 80% for services rendered after the insured has satisified their deductible. Therefore, if your insurance policy has a deductible of $500, the insured must pay out $500 towards their claims then insurance companies will consider paying 80% coinsurance on the remaining balance of unpaid services. Coinsurance does not apply to deductible amounts. Third, the service that is rendered must be a covered service under the insurance policy. If the service is not a covered service most insurance policies will not pay for the service, and usually it does not apply towards the deductible either. Lastly, if the provider of the service does not have a contract with your insurance company, the insured will most likely owe the difference between the allowed amount of the insurance company and the billed amount from the provider. Coinsurance does not apply to the portion of the fee that exceeds the insurance companies allowed amount. Billing the insured for this difference is referred to as balance billing.

In some situations the claim might be made many years after the incident occurred. This leads to uncertainty for both the insured and the insurer.A claims-made policy protects an insured against claims or incidents that are reported while the policy is in force. Normally, a claims made policy provides coverage for acts occurring prior to the claims-made policy period. Coverage for acts occurring prior to the policy period is called "prior acts coverage," and the period prior to the policy period for which claims are covered is called the prior acts period. Prior acts coverage is usually only provided when a claims-made policy has been in force immediately prior to the current claims-made policy on a basis consistent with the prior policy. Prior acts coverage is defined as "full prior acts", covering acts occurring at any time prior to the current policy period, or is defined by a "retroactive date." When a retroactive date is used, prior acts coverage is provided from the retroactive date to the current policy period.

Whole life insurance has a definite period during which premiums are paid. This will be specified in the policy. When first purchased, in addition to the amount of insurance selected, the purchaser selects the period of time that premiums will be paid. The amount of premium will depend both upon the amount of insurance and the length of time that premiums will be paid. Once the selections are made, assuming that the insurance company issues the policy on the terms that you have requested, the policy will state those. Once premiums have been paid for the stated period of time, the policy is considered to be "paid up", and no further premiums need to be made. A whole life policy also accumulates "cash value". This can be considered to be a sort of savings account within the policy. Every premium is allocated between the cost of the protection (the insurance itself) and the cash value. A point may be reached where the accumulated cash value, and the interest or dividends that it accrues, is enough to pay future premiums. If that happens, the obligation to pay premiums may end before the time stated in the policy.
