AAMA CMA Practice Question

The correct answer is that the patient will be expected to pay the $500 deductible upfront. A deductible is the amount a patient needs to pay before their health insurance starts to pay for covered healthcare services. Once the deductible is met, the plan will cover the rest of the costs, provided that the services are covered and the procedure does not require coinsurance or copayment beyond the deductible. In cases where coinsurance or additional copayments are required after the deductible is met, the patient would be responsible for those additional costs as well.
