What happens if I have a deductible?

Typically, your insurance will start paying for your care after you hit your deductible. If your deductible is $1000, you may need to pay $1000 before your insurance starts paying. 

Sometimes, your insurance will pay for care earlier—it all depends on the details of your plan. We recommend that you contact your insurance company directly for questions about your deductible.
