What happens if I'm unable to meet the required deductible amount?

The insurance company will not meet the claim amount until you pay the deductible amount, as agreed upon in the medical insurance plan. Once you pay the deductible, the insurer will pay the remaining expenses if the medical bill is more than the deductible.

Do health insurance premiums count towards deductible?
