Question: What is coinsurance?

Question: What is coinsurance?


Answer:
Insurance underwritten jointly with another or others. Coinsurance is the portion of the medical bill that is shared by both the insured and the insurer. For example, if you had an 85% to $5000 coinsurance, you would be responsible for 15% of the medical expense while the insurer would be responsible for the other 85%.
