What is a Prescription Drug Deductible?
In the world of health insurance, “deductible” is a common word. It refers to an amount of money that you pay out of your pocket before the insurance company begins to pay. A prescription deductible is the portion you’d pay first, then after you’ve paid the deductible, you may only have to pay a co-pay when you pick up your medication.
If you are single, you would only have to meet your prescription deductible. If you have two or more people in your family, each member may have to meet their own prescription deductible which could be up to 2 deductibles in the family. A prescription deductible is different and separate from the medical deductible, unless otherwise stated. One deductible is for medical, ie: hospitalization, doctors, etc., and the other deductible is for filling your prescriptions.
