Hospital Deductible or Per Admit Copay

The Hospital Deductible or Per Admit Copay is specified in the Deductibles/Maximums Sheet. You should only make an entry if the health plan model you are using in your scenario has a Hospital Deductible or Per Admit Copay requirement, and you don’t want to use the default value provided in your model (meaning you want to customize your entry based on a specific health plan you are using in your scenario).

An Inpatient Hospital Deductible requirement involves a set annual dollar threshold that all covered allowable inpatient hospital charges are applied against, and insurance coverage by the plan does not begin to apply until the covered inpatient hospital allowable charges exceed this amount. Every plan year, this Deductible requirement is reset, so that application of charges from the previous year are typically not carried forward into the new year. Some plans impose the deductible requirement on a per admission versus annual basis. This is almost identical to a Per Admit Copay. Either way, the per admission requirement imposes a flat dollar amount that must be paid out of pocket for each hospital admission.
