Important Terms Deductible An Amount you pay each Plan Year for certain services. Once the deductible has been met, most services that are subject to the deductible are covered in full for the balance of the plan year. (Exception is for ER services, once deductible has been met, there is a $100 co-pay for ER services). Co-payment A Fixed Dollar Amount that you pay the Provider each time you have a service. (Office Visit, Hospitalization, Day Surgery). IMPORTANT POINT: You pay the “co-payment” at the time of the service, but you donot pay the “deductible” at the time of the service.
