A premium is not directly allocated to pay an insured's medical expenses. Instead, it is combined with other premiums and used to pay claims for all those insured by the insurer.

Aside from paying all or part of the premium, the insured is also expected to pay the cost of a deductible, copayment, and coinsurance, depending on the type of insurance coverage. A deductible is the amount paid for healthcare by the insured before the insurer pays. Assume someone has a $1,000 deductible. He is expected to pay the first $1,000 of medical care out of pocket, with the insurer covering the rest.

Introduction to Insurance Plans, Chapter 7 107

A copayment is a set amount of money that the insured must pay directly to the healthcare provider for each visit. The copayment is separate from the deductible.

The copayment amount influences the premium cost. A lower premium is usually the result of a higher copayment.

Coinsurance is a percentage of total medical costs shared by the insured and the insurer. The patient pays 20% and the insurer pays 80% of the allowed charges in an 80/20 coinsurance arrangement.

The lifetime payout provision protects the insurer from having to pay more than is necessary for an insured's medical care. This provision limits the amount the insurer is obligated to pay for the insured's medical care over the course of the insured's lifetime.
