What Is Coinsurance?
Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered health care service, calculated as a percentage (for example, 20%) of the allowed amount for the service. You pay coinsurance after you've met your deductible.
How It Works
- If your plan's allowed amount for an office visit is $100 and your coinsurance is 20%, you pay $20. Your health insurance pays the rest ($80).
- This is different from a copayment, which is a fixed amount.
