Your Costs
What is co-insurance?
Co-insurance is your share of the costs of a covered health care service, calculated as a percent (for example, 20%) of
the allowed amount for the service. You pay co-insurance plus any deductibles you owe. Co-insurance is not the same
as a co-payment (or co-pay).
What is a co-payment?
A co-payment (co-pay) is a fixed amount (for example, $15) you pay for a covered health care service, usually when
you receive the service. You will pay a co-pay or the allowed amount, whichever is less. The amount can vary by the
type of covered health care service. Please see the specific common medical event to see if a co-pay applies and how
much you have to pay.
What is Prior Authorization?
Prior Authorization is getting approval before you can get access to medicine or services. Services that require prior
authorization are noted in the list of Common Medical Events. To get approval, call the member phone number on your
health plan ID card.
