Please look at the detailed description.

You will have to pay a deductible (varies from $0 to $100) per period of coverage before the insurance company starts paying anything for the covered expenses, even for doctor visits. You will need to continue to pay all the money yourself until you have completely satisfied the deductible. The deductible is not just for the hospitalization. There is no concept of copay. The deductible is applied only towards the eligible expenses.

After that, the insurance company pays fixed amounts according to the schedule of benefits up to the policy maximum. As you have to pay all the difference yourself beyond that, there is no out of pocket maximum.

The period of coverage is the period of time for which premium has been timely paid. At each renewal, a new period of coverage will begin. A new deductible will apply at each renewal.
