Question

Michelle is changing her health care insurance and deciding between two different plans that charge the

same premium. Plan A has a $1,700 deductible with 20% coinsurance. Plan B has a $1,450 with 30%
coinsurance. Michelle had a total of $8,450 in medical bills last year. Under which plan would Michelle's
share have been less? Support your answer with mathematical calculations. Answer in complete
sentence.

Answer 1

plan A

Explanation:

Plan A

1700-8450=6750*.20=1350+1700=3050

Plan B

1450-8450=7000*.30=2100+1450=3550

Answer=Plan A

Answer 2

plan B would share less

because, 20% of 1700 is 340 and 30% of 1450 is 435

I hope this helps!!
