Understanding insurance terms

Below is a guide to help you understand common insurance terms and how they affect your care. 
 
Co-pays 
A co-pay is a fixed amount you pay for a service, usually due at your appointment. Not all insurance plans require a co-pay. 
 
Deductibles 
A deductible is the amount you pay for care before your insurance starts covering costs. The amount is set by your insurance plan and is different from a co-pay. Not all plans require you to meet the full deductible first. 
 
Coinsurance 
Coinsurance is the percentage of a service you pay after meeting your deductible. You’re responsible for the portion your insurance doesn’t cover. Not all plans have coinsurance. 
 
Primary Care Provider (PCP) 
A PCP is the doctor or provider your insurance plan assigns or requires you to choose. To be seen at Neighborcare health, your primary care provider must be assigned to Neighborcare 
 
Medicaid (Apple Health in Washington State) 
Provides coverage for low-income individuals and families. Medicaid plans require PCP assignment, referrals, or prior authorization. 
 
Medicare
Federal health insurance for people age 65+ or with certain disabilities. Medicare coverage may include coinsurance and deductibles.  
 
Explanation of Benefits (EOB)
A document from your insurance company that explains what was billed, what was covered, and what you are responsible for paying.
