"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.

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.
