Question: how do deductibles work for health insurance?

for example: my insurance is offering a 1000.oo dollar deductible, does this mean that i have to pay that amount first and then my coverage will be for the rest of whatever the percentages are for my insurance plan???

Answer: I hope you are taking your co-payments and premiums in consideration as well as what the insurance is covering. There is so much to consider, so I would suggest a book that helped me choose my insurance called “Healthcare for Less” by Michelle Katz. The book will help you figure out what insurance is best for you by pointing out websites and question you may not have though of before. SO to answer you question, yes, you have to pay the first $1000 of coverage, but you may want to check out other plans that are offered such as an HSA!!!!! ANd be sure you save your receipts….you may be able to write off that deductible in the end!!!!! You can pick up a copy of “Healthcare for Less” at Borders, Barnes and Noble, Olssons, or order it on www.amazon.com. I hope that helps!

I paid for a presciption with a credit card in mid Dec. 2006 but didn’t actually pay for it until after Jan. 1, 2007 – can I claim it for 06 taxes? This is the first year I’ve been able to itemize, usually we end up a few hundred under the standard deduction, we had more medical bills last year than normal. So odds are if I can’t claim it for 2006 I won’t be able to use it for 2007.
Thanks in advance!!

Answer: You paid for the prescription in 2006.

When you paid the credit card bill is immaterial.
