How coinsurance works after deductible

Coinsurance on an HSA plan refers to the percentage of costs you share with your insurance provider after you've met your deductible. It's a common feature in many health insurance plans, including Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).

Here's how coinsurance works:

• Once you've paid your deductible, you and your insurance provider split the remaining costs based on the coinsurance percentage.
• For example, if your coinsurance is 20%, you'll pay 20% of the covered medical expenses, and your insurance company will pay the remaining 80%.
• Coinsurance helps you manage out-of-pocket costs and is a crucial component of your overall healthcare expenses.
