Understanding the basics of healthcare:

Deductible- a specified amount of money that the insured must pay before an insurance company will pay a claim.

Coinsurance- A co-sharing agreement between the insured and the insurer under a health insurance policy which provides that the insured will cover a set percentage of the covered costs after the deductible has been paid. Similar to co-pay insurance plans except co-pays require the insured to pay a set dollar amount at the time the service is rendered.

Out of Pocket Maximum (OOP) -An Out-of-Pocket maximum is the most that you should have to pay for your healthcare during a plan period (usually one year). Before reaching the out-of-pocket maximum, you pay for part of your medical care, such as copays and coinsurance. Once you have paid the amount set by the out-of-pocket maximum, your insurance will pay 100% of the allowed amount for your covered healthcare expenses, up to a preset benefit maximum. Note that ineligible expenses -- such as elective plastic surgery -- aren't counted against your out-of-pocket maximum.
