Question

You go to the emergency room on January 1, and your insurance requires a $250 deductible and 20% co-insurance from you. Your total emergency room bill is $1,250. How much do you have to pay? A. $200 B. $250 C. $450 D. $550

Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Your total emergency room bill is $1,250.You have to pay $450 . 1250 - 250 =1000 , 1000*20% = 1000*0.20 = 200 , Total paid = 200+ 250 =450

Answer 2

I would say $450 because of the $1250, $250 is the deductible so has to be paid by you, and then of the $1000 remaining you have to pay 20% so 0.2 x 1000=$200 so the total is $250+$200=$450. Without the insurance you would have had to pay the full $1250 so you saved $800 by having the insurance.
