Question

Pauletta Flores has a health insurance plan with a $500 deductible. The plan

covers 90% of her hospital charges. Following hospital surgery, her costs
included $700 in physician visit co-payments, $250 in physical therapy co-
payments, and a hospital bill of $11.675. A $250 hospital admission fee is
not covered by her insurance. What amount did she pay?

Answer 1

$2,617.50

Step-by-step explanation:

For Pauletta, her deductible is $500.

She has to pay the &700 and $250 co-payments from her pocket.

Her insurance covers 90% of the hospital charge, so she has to meet 10% of the hospital cost.

Pauletta will pay 10% of $11,675. + 500 deductible + $700 + 250 co-payments

=1,1675.50 +$500 +$700, +$250

=$2,617.50
