Question: If you have insurance, what are your deductibles? Thanks for the input!
Gentlemen,
During the last two days of me getting feedback from our members on an idea that I had, I was left with an unanswered question:
I have been asking members about what they pay for medication and health services and I have been getting spectacular answers such as $5/$15/$35 co-pays and in the past I have heard that people get medical treatment for $20 office visits. When I hear that, I am VERY impressed.... However, I then think to myself, "I have great insurance and my deductibles are $2500 a year for medical treatment and my medication deductible is around $600 a year." With that being said, am I crazy or are people saying that they do not have medical deductibles along with their co-pays? I am never sick, so even with my $10 medical co-pays and my $20 office co-pay, I still pay retail price each year because I NEVER meet my deductible. (The insurance company ALWAYS sends me a bill to cover the costs until I have met my deductible)
My question is: Those of you who have insurance, do YOU have a medical and medication deductible and if so, what is it? Again, I am asking because I am doing research and when I hear "I have a $7 co-pay", are people sensationalizing what they pay to wow us with an extremely LOW $ amount for treatment and/or medication or do you guys seriously NOT have deductibles. When people say that "I have a $4 co-pay", are they including the fact that they must meet a certain $ amount BEFORE that benefit kicks in?
Thanks for the input guys!!
