#1

Hey Linda, have you looked at the new insurance plans yet?

#2

Yes, I started reading the documents during my lunch break today.

#3

Good. I think we need to choose a plan before next month.

#4

I agree. The deadline is October fifteenth, so we still have time.

#5

What is the difference between the two plans we were offered?

#6

Well, Plan A has a lower premium, which means we pay less each month.

#7

That sounds good. But is there a catch?

#8

Yes, the deductible is much higher with Plan A.

#9

So we would pay more out of pocket before coverage begins?

#10

Exactly. With Plan A, the deductible is two thousand dollars per person.

#11

That is a lot. What about Plan B?

#12

Plan B has a higher monthly premium, but the deductible is only five hundred.

#13

I see. So if someone in our family gets sick, Plan B is better.

#14

That is what I was thinking, especially because the kids play sports.

#15

Right. Remember when Tommy hurt his knee last year?

#16

Of course. We had to file a claim for the hospital visit.

#17

Was that process difficult?

#18

Not really. I filled out the claim form and sent it online.

#19

And the insurance company paid for most of the treatment, right?

#20

Yes, about eighty percent of the cost was covered by insurance.

#21

Okay, I think Plan B makes more sense for our family.

#22

I agree. The extra premium is about fifty dollars more per month.

#23

That is worth it for better coverage and a lower deductible.

#24

Great. I will fill out the application form this weekend.

#25

Perfect. And I will make us a nice dinner while you do that!

#26

That sounds like a fair deal to me.
