Fixed benefit plan or Scheduled Benefits plan means there is a limit for each type of covered medical treatment. For example, $100 limit for an emergency room visit. The plan will not pay more than this $100 limit. Fixed plans are cheaper than comprehensive plans and they are designed for healthy people. Comprehensive plans: Wide variety of coverages, broad network providers, hospitals and services such as X-rays, lab work, physician visits, emergency room and cost of prescription drugs. Not all comprehensive visitor's health insurance policies are the same.
The deductible is the amount that the customer should pay for medical expenses before the insurance company start paying. If your plan has a $100 deductible, you pay the first $100 of expenses and the company pay the rest. The higher the deductible, the lower you're premium cost.
Per injury/sickness deductible You pay deductible or flat deductible which the customer is required to pay for each claim when you get a new medical sickness or accident, possibly resulting in more than one deductible being paid in a given year. Per policy period deductible You pay the deductible only once the entire policy period, regardless how many times you get injured or sick during entire policy time. Per visit deductible or co-pa You pay a certain amount every time you visit a health care provider (doctor, hospital, laboratory etc.). This amount is usually collected at the time services are received. This type of deductible is not common in short term visitor medical insurance policies. Annual deductible You pay the deductible once in any year, regardless of the number of claims in that year irrespective of how many times you get sick or injured during the entire year. This are not mostly Major medical plans. The policy may contain an individual deductible, in which each insured is personally responsible for a specified deductible amount each year, or a family deductible whereby the annual deductible is satisfied if two or more family members pay a deductible each year, regardless of the number of claims incurred by additional family members.
After customer pay the deductible, the co-insurance come into place. The Co-insuranceis the percentage of amount that the customer should pay for incurred medical expense. This amount is pay after the deductible amount is met which is also the insured responsibility. The Co-insurance is a percentage of the bill.
Example: Co-insurance is 90/10 for the first $4000.00 for the plan. This means the customer must pay 10% of the bill for the first $4000.00. The insurance company plan will pay the entire amount after $4000.00.

Most of the plans cover only Acute onset of a preexisting condition. The restriction on how acute onset of a preexisting condition coverage is based on the insurance carrier which we choose.
