Question

What is a health insurance deductible?

Answer 1

Explanation: An HDHP should have a deductible of at least $1,350 for an individual and $2,700 for a family plan. People usually opt for an HDHP alongside a Health Savings Account (HSA). This better equips them to cover high deductibles with savings from their HSA if needed.

Answer 2

Deductible. The amount you pay for covered health care services before your insurance plan starts to pay. With a $2,000 deductible, for example, you pay the first $2,000 of covered services yourself. After you pay your deductible, you usually pay only a copayment or coinsurance for covered services
