Understanding Insurance and Rates
-
Benefits – Medical expenses that your health insurance policy covers
-
Co-Insurance – The percentage of covered expenses you share with your insurance company. For example, let's say your health insurance plan's allowed amount for an office visit is $100 and your coinsurance is 20%. If you've paid your deductible: You pay 20% of $100, or $20.
-
Co-pay or Co-payment – A fixed amount for a covered service, paid by a patient to the provider of service before receiving the service. It may be defined in an insurance policy and paid by an insured person each time a medical service is accessed
-
Deductible – A deductible is the amount you pay each year for most eligible medical services or medications before your health plan begins to share in the cost of covered services. For example, if you have a $2,000 yearly deductible, you'll need to pay the first $2,000 of your total eligible medical costs before your plan helps to pay.
-
Exclusions – Medical and other expenses that your health insurance policy does not cover
The maximum dollar amount an insurance company will pay for a given procedure or service. If a provider has a contract with an insurance company, the provider and the insurance company negotiate an allowed amount for each service or procedure. If a provider has a contract with a health insurance company, then the health insurance company considers the provider in-network and will not charge more than the allowed amount for a given procedure.

Rates can vary depending upon the credentials of your provider and if additional services are deemed medically necessary during the appointment, example urine screens and psychotherapy.
