What does it mean the insurance company makes a full payment minus a patient deductible?
Aksuna
When one buys an insurance policy, one of the choices that is made is the amount of the deductible. A deductible is the amount of money that the insured elects to pay toward a covered loss. Stated otherwise, the insured is "self-insuring" for the amount of the deductible, such that the insurer's obligation to pay is not triggered until the deductible is met. One it is, the insurer pays the amount of the remaining covered loss.
The insurer's actual payment may also be subject to certain exclusions (things not covered) or limitations (payment is made only to a stated amount, even if actual charges exceed that amount). In the realm of health insurance, co-payments are also common. A co-payment is the percentage of the covered charge for which the insured remains responsible. An example would be that the insurer is responsible for the payment of 80% of the charge, and the insured is responsible for the remaining 20% in addition to the deductible.
In general, premiums are lower for health insurance that carries a higher deductible and co-payment, because the insurer bears proportionately less risk for a covered occurrence.

Yes ... the patient, in all cases, is wholly responsible for assuring proper and timely payment of insurance claims.
