A deductible is the fixed dollar amount you must pay each calendar year for certain services and products before your health plan pays.
The out-of-pocket maximum is the most you'll have to pay per calendar year for covered health care services. Once you reach this amount, your plan pays 100 percent of the allowed amount for covered services excluding taxes.
There's a maximum for each person on the plan and a maximum for everyone on the plan.
