35
Q

Suppose that under your health insurance policy, hospital expenses are subject to a $1000 deductible and $250 per day copay. You get sick and are hospitalized for 4 days, and the bill (after insurance discounts are applied) comes to $6000.

How much of this hospital bill will you have to pay yourself?

A. $0
B. $1000
C. $2000
D. $4000
E. $5000

A

C

The deductible is $1000, meaning you must pay this amount minimum. Additionally, there is a copay of $250 per day spent in the hospital. Since you stayed 4 days, this would also be $1000. Therefore, the total you must pay would be $2000.

36
Q

Suppose your health insurance plan covers lab tests in full if you go to an in-network lab, but only pays 60 percent of allowed charges if you go to an out-of-network lab. You forget to check and go get your blood test at a lab that turns out to be out-of-network. The lab bills you $100 for the blood test. Your insurance only allows a $20 charge for this test.

How much would you have to pay out of pocket for this lab test?

A. $0
B. $40
C. $80
D. $88

A

D

Your insurance only allows a charge of $20 for this lab test. $100 - $20 = $80.

However, of this allowed charge ($20), they only cover 60%. $20 x 60% = $12

Thus, the cost of this lab would be $100, minus the 60% of $20 allowed charge insurance would pay of the test ($12), leaving you with an $88 bill to pay.

37
Q

True or false: If your health insurance plan refuses to pay for a service that you think is covered and your doctor says you need, you can appeal the denial and possibly get the insurance to pay the claim.

A

True

38
Q

True or false: If you are admitted to a hospital that accepts your insurance, then every physician within that hospital will also accept your insurance.

A

False
