Question

Gina has a traditional health insurance plan. Her deductible is $500. The level of co-insurance for her plan is 80/20, where 20 represents Gina's portion. She does not have any co-payment. If Gina incurs a $2,300 hospital bill, how much money must she pay out of pocket for the bill?

Answer 1

Her deductible is $500. So 2300-500=1800 20% of 1800 = 360

she will have to pay $360 plus $500 = $860

$860 out of pocket

$1440 pd by insurance

Answer 2

$860 is the answer.

Explanation:

Gina's deductible is $500. Means she has to pay $500 from her pocket.

The level of co-insurance for her plan is 80/20, where 20 represents Gina's portion.

So, when Gina incurs a $2,300 hospital bill, the deductible has to be paid by her.

This is
`2300-500=1800` dollars

And 20% of 1800 =
`0.20*1800=360`

Now the money Gina must pay out of her pocket for the bill will be =
`360+500=860` dollars

Hence, Gina will pay $860.
