Question
Sarah's comprehensive major medical health insurance plan at work has a deductible of $400. The policy pays 80 percent of any
amount above the deductible. While on a hiking trip, she contracted a rare bacterial disease. Her medical costs for treatment, including
medicines, tests, and a six-day hospital stay, totaled $9,440. A friend told her that she would have paid less if she had a policy with a
stop-loss feature that capped her out-of-pocket expenses at $3,700. The policy with the stop-loss feature has the same deductible and
coinsurance requirement as Sarah's current policy.
Determine which policy would have cost Sarah less and by how much. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2
decimal places.)
O Current policy
O Stop-loss feature
O No difference in Sarah's cost for this claim.
Difference amount
