Close to reaching your Health Insurance Deductible? Spend MORE soon!
If you or your family have had one or more health expenses this year, such as surgeries, hospitalizations, pregnancy, or anything that causes you to start paying towards your health insurance deductible, NOW may be the time to spend MORE, not less. While this sounds counter intuitive, spending MORE on needed health issues at the end of the year may actually save you money.
Most health insurance plans operate on a calendar year, from January 1st to December 31st. Your yearly deductible is usually also based on this time-frame. So, let’s say you have a ,000 deductible plan with, 20/80 Coinsurance (This means after reaching your deductible you pay the remaining 20% and the insurance pays 80% of all bills until you reach a certain maximum, at which point you get covered at 100%.). Now assume that you have spent 0 of your deductible though October, and the doctor says you will need more medical treatment in the near future. In this case, if you wait to get your expected medical treatment until after January 1st, you may start paying towards your entire 00 deductible again! However, if you complete the needed work or procedures BEFORE December 31st, you may only pay another 0 towards your deductible, and then just 20% of the remaining charges! You’ll “save” 0 of your own money from having to be used towards you deductible again.
