1. Get Health Coverage & Benefits

• Ask us for help with health insurance, SNAP, KidsCare and/or AHCCCS enrollment

2. Understanding Your Insurance Plan

• Copayment – A fixed amount (for example, $25) you pay for a covered healthcare service, usually when you get the service.
• Coinsurance – Your share of the costs of a covered healthcare service, calculated as a percent (for example, 20%) of the allowed amount for the service.
• Deductible – The amount you owe for healthcare services your health insurance or plan covers before your health insurance or plan begins to pay.
• Explanation of Benefits (EOB) – A summary of healthcare charges that your health plan sends you after you see a provider or get a service. It is not a bill.
• Network – The facilities, providers and suppliers your health insurer or plan has contracted with to provide healthcare services.
• Out-of-Pocket Maximum/Limit – The most you pay during a policy period (usually one year) before your health insurance or plan starts to pay 100% for covered essential health benefits. Monthly premiums are NOT included in this amount.
• Premium – The amount that must be paid for your health insurance or plan (usually a monthly payment).
