Deductible plans

You pay the full cost for certain services until you reach a set amount for the year — your deductible. After you reach your deductible, you typically just pay a copay or coinsurance. With some plans, you may pay a copay or coinsurance for certain services even before you reach your deductible.*

The cost of your visit depends on your plan, the care you need, and how much you’ve paid toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum. Before your visit, you can get a personalized cost estimate to help avoid surprises.

Your copay or coinsurance depends on many factors, including your plan details, how much you’ve already paid for care, and the type of care you receive. To learn about your plan’s copay or coinsurance details, sign in to kp.org.

The amount you may pay at check-in might not cover everything you owe. That’s because your care team doesn’t know exactly what you need until they talk with you. You could receive a bill after your visit if:

• You received additional services, such as lab tests or X-rays
• What you paid didn’t cover the full cost of your scheduled services

Preventive care — like flu shots, mammograms, and routine physical exams — helps you stay healthy. But when you have symptoms, you may need diagnostic care to help find out the cause. For example, if you came in for a checkup and discussed an unrelated injury, your doctor might order an X-ray for it. You’d get a bill for the X-ray because it's diagnostic, not preventive.
