What Is Meant By Deductible In Health Insurance? 
A Health Insurance deductible is the amount you would be responsible to pay before your policy would begin paying for covered services . In addition to the deductible , it is quite possible that you also have a `` co insurance '' amount as well . This is a percentage of the amount you would be responsible for paying AFTER meeting the deductible . Check with your Insurance Professional about the terms and conditions of your particular policy .
