Do you pay the doctor in full payment until the deductible is met?
That depends on the terms of your insurance.
If you have met the deductible with your insurance company for the year and you change insurance companies in the same year do you need to satisfy another deductible with the new insurance company?
Not necessarily. It depends on the "Plan Year". For example, if your plan has a calendar year of January 1 through December 31, and by September 15 you have met your deductible, the new insurance carrier would have to issue a Deductible Credit Transfer because you have already met the deductible for the plan year. However, if the new plan has a plan year that runs from September 1, through August 31, then by September 15, your plan has already started to run and the deductible after September 1 only is the amount you can apply.

What does after deductible mean?
"After deductible" means you will not get coverage or certain benefits until a deductible has been met. Insurance policies often have more than one deductible. For example, you may have a $1,000 per year deductible for certain medical expenses, and another deductible for prescription drugs. If your prescription drug deductible is $500 per year, you will have to pay out of pocket the first $500 of drug cots before your plan will kick. Many plans have complicated formulas for how deductibles are applied and how they are met so there is no one answer. But "after deductible" always means that the person with the insurance policy will have to pay something first, before getting reduced-cost, free, or co-pay services and drugs.

Difference between a deductible and a premium?
A premium is the amount of money you pay the auto/health insurance company monthly, quarterly, or biannually whether or not you get in an accident or go to the hospital. The higher your premium the lower your deductible, and the lower your premium the higher your deductible. A deductible is the amount of money after you get in a car accident or visit the hospital before your insurance company pays anything. After you have met your deductible the insurance company covers the rest of the expenses.
