Understanding Insurance Costs

An insurance policy's cost can involve more than its premium. Depending on the coverage, a policyholder may also face deductibles, coinsurance, copays, uncovered expenses or costs above policy limits. The policy contract controls.

Premium

A premium is the amount charged to maintain coverage. A $250 monthly premium equals $3,000 over 12 months if the premium remains unchanged.

Deductible

A deductible is an amount a policyholder may have to pay toward covered losses or services before certain insurer payments apply. Rules vary by insurance type and contract.

Coinsurance

Coinsurance is percentage-based cost sharing used in some policies. For example, under a simplified model with a $1,000 deductible and 20% customer coinsurance, a $5,000 covered claim would produce a $1,800 customer share.

Out-of-Pocket Maximums

Some health plans set annual limits on certain covered cost sharing. Premiums and some other expenses may not count toward the limit. Use the specific plan documents for exact rules.

Coverage Limits and Exclusions

Policies with similar estimated costs can provide different protection. Limits, exclusions, networks, covered events, benefit definitions and endorsements can materially affect coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Policy structures vary by insurance type and insurer.

Does a deductible apply to every claim?

Not necessarily. Policies can apply deductibles differently.

Does this calculator give an insurance quote?

No. InsureCalc365 does not sell insurance or quote premiums. It calculates only from numbers you enter.

Does the comparison include every possible cost?

No. It is a simplified budgeting model and does not model every copay, exclusion, limit, network rule, tax, fee or policy provision.
