Answer:
To determine how much Benito would pay toward his medical costs if he changed to the second health insurance plan, we need to consider his monthly premium as well as the copayments for office visits, prescription drugs, and special medical procedures. We'll calculate the annual cost for each of these components and add them up.
1. Monthly Premium:
Benito's monthly premium is $234, and since there are 12 months in a year, his annual premium cost is:
$234 * 12 = $2,808 per year
2. Copayment for Office Visits:
Benito has to pay a $25 copay for each office visit. If we assume a certain number of office visits in a year (let's say X visits), then the cost for office visits in a year would be:
$25 * X
3. Copayment for Prescription Drugs:
Benito has to pay a $30 copay for prescription drugs. If we assume he has prescription expenses in a year (let's say Y expenses), then the cost for prescription drugs in a year would be:
$30 * Y
4. Copayment for Special Medical Procedures:
Benito has to pay a $50 copay for special medical procedures. If we assume he undergoes special procedures in a year (let's say Z procedures), then the cost for special medical procedures in a year would be:
$50 * Z
Now, to calculate the total cost for Benito in a year, we add up all these components:
Total Annual Cost = Annual Premium Cost + Annual Office Visit Cost + Annual Prescription Drug Cost + Annual Special Procedure Cost
Total Annual Cost = $2,808 + $25 * X + $30 * Y + $50 * Z
Without knowing the specific numbers for X, Y, and Z (the number of office visits, prescription expenses, and special procedures Benito will have in a year), we cannot calculate the exact total annual cost. Benito's total cost will depend on his healthcare usage during the year.
You would need to determine these specific numbers to calculate Benito's actual annual cost on the second health insurance plan.
