The pros to having an insurance plan with a low deductible would be that you do not have to pay as much money out of pocket if something happens and you need to use your insurance. The con of having a low deductible is that your monthly payment will be higher than if you had chosen a plan with a higher deductible. Generaly, if you are young and healty with very few trips to the doctor, go with a higher deductible. However, be sure you choose a deductible that you can afford to pay in the event something actually does happen to you.

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.

The deductible is the amount of money that you will need to pay out of your pocket before the insurance company will pay for the surgery. Once you have proof of paying the deductible, then the provider will bill the insurance company, and they in turn will pay the provider according to how the policy states it will pay. Check your policy to see if it's an "80/20" plan or something different. An 80/20 plan means that after you pay the deductible, the insurance company will pay 80% of the bill and you will pay 20% of the bill.
