What statements describes a situation in which people have to pay a deductible?
A deductible is the amount an insured person must pay out of pocket before their insurance coverage kicks in. For example, if someone has a health insurance plan with a $1,000 deductible, they must cover the first $1,000 of their medical expenses themselves before the insurance company starts to pay for any additional costs. This situation often arises in medical treatment, auto insurance claims, or homeowners insurance, where individuals are responsible for a specified amount before benefits are activated.

What happens if medical expenses exceed auto insurance coverage after an auto accident?
1. Most states have a requirement that a registrant of an auto maintain "personal injury protection" (PIP) coverage (altho the name may be different). This is the essence of so-called no-fault auto insurance. Essentially, it pays a percentage of the insured's own medical bills and lost wages, up to a maximum amount, arising from an auto collision. It pays those expenses irrespective of fault for the collision. 2. Most insurers also offer a Medical Payments coverage. This is often an optional coverage. It pays an additional amount toward medical expenses , and often coordinates with the PIP coverage. Therefore, if the PIP coverage pays 80% of the medical bills, up to the policy limits, the medical payments coverage will pay the remaining 20% up to its policy limits. 3. If medical expenses exceed #1 and #2, one's major medical insurance is triggered. The auto insurance is "primary" in the sense that its benefits have to be exhausted before major medical insurance is called upon to pay. This is because auto insurance is required by state "financial responsibility laws" and for the further reason that it and the major medical insurance contain "coordination of benefits" provisions making the auto insurance primary. 4. If medical expenses still exceed the total available auto insurance and major medical insurance (including, if there is no major medical insurance), the injured party/insured is personally responsible for unpaid amounts. In this situation, the health care provider frequently is willing to work out payment arrangements. Alternatively, the unpaid amounts may be discharged in bankruptcy, but this is a very drastic step and should be avoided if at all possible.
A is the amount the employee must pay on a yearly basis before supplementary healthcare benefits begin?
A is the annual deductible that an employee must pay out-of-pocket for healthcare expenses before their supplementary healthcare benefits kick in.

Once the deductible is met, the insurance will start to cover eligible medical expenses, reducing the overall financial burden on the employee.

Can you explain how family deductibles work in health insurance plans?
A family deductible in a health insurance plan is the total amount that a family must pay out of pocket for covered medical expenses before the insurance company starts to pay for any costs. Once the family meets the deductible, the insurance company will typically start covering a portion of the costs, with the family responsible for any remaining copayments or coinsurance.
What is the amount that an insured person must pay before reimbursement for medical expenses begins?
Your health insurance policy will specify DEDUCTIBLE amounts on the Declarations page (usually the first page) of the insurance policy. This is the amount that you must initially pay before the insurer is on the risk for any payment. Additionally, there are copayments, also specified in the policy, for which you will be responsible. These recognize that the insurer is only responsible for a portion of covered expenses incurred. An example is that the insurer would pay 80% of the covered expanse, and the copayment would therefore be 20%, which would be the insured's responsibility.
