Definitions

Benefits Period: A benefit period begins the day you are admitted to a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF), and ends when you have not received any inpatient hospital or SNF care for 60 days in a row. If you are admitted after a benefit period ends, a new one begins. You must pay any deductibles for each new benefit period.

Coinsurance: an amount, usually a percentage, you may be required to pay as your share of the cost of services after deductibles have been met.

Copayment or Copay: a fixed amount you may be required to pay as your share of the cost for services.

Deductible: the amount you must pay for healthcare or prescriptions before your benefits begin to be paid by the plan (where applicable.)
