cost thousands of dollars!
Deductible – You have to pay this amount before
your insurance will cover anything
NOT ALL

THE SAME!
$100 - $1,000 or even $5,000 are common
deductible amounts
$15,000 is TOO HIGH!

for each billed service and insurance will cover
the rest (if deductible is met).

providers in your plan’s contracted network.
