Q: What are the expected out of pocket expenses for different insurance policies?

A: This depends on the particular insurance plan you have. All plans require you to pay the deductible amount before the insurance pays for any expenses. You can select any deductible amount you are comfortable while purchasing the insurance plan. Once the deductible is reached the benefits are paid acording to the schedule of benefits. If your plan requires you to pay a portion of expenses in the form of a co insurance, you will be responsible for those payments till you reach the maximum out of pocket costs set by the plan.
