Answer

Question 13

A health-insurance scenario applies this rule: • A deductible is a flat dollar amount of medical expenses that the policy owner must pay out of his own pocket, before the insurer will begin making any benefit payment under the policy. It is usually on a per year basis, i.e. it is applicable again on the yearly renewal of the policy. • Once the policy owner has satisfied the deductible, he is then eligible for reimbursement under the policy. However, if there is co-insurance, he is required to pay a specified percentage (e.g. 10%) of the total covered medical expenses which are in excess of the deductible. This helps to reduce over- consumption. • When the insured person is admitted to a hospital better than and/or ward higher than what he is entitled to under his existing insured plan, a percentage (expressed as pro-ration factor in the benefit schedule) is applied on the actual charges incurred and covered under the policy. Therefore, the benefit payable is reduced, to take into account the differences in the Government subsidies applicable to the ward type of the insured plan. Which concept is involved?
