What exactly is a premium?
Health insurance lingo, that is.


I understand what a deductible is, but not quite sure what a premium is...Any other helpful insurance mumbojumbo definitions are greatly appreciated! :)
Additional Details
So...you have to pay the deductible and the premium separately? Or does the premium payments count toward the deductible?

This is sooo confusing! :(

A premium is the price of your insurance policy. You pay this like you pay your car payment, but can pay it annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly (usually). The deductible is what you are required to pay if anything happens to your car. For example, if your deductible is $500 for Comprehensive and Collision (two separate coverages) and you get in an accident and it is your fault and there is damage to your vehicle... if you want to get your vehicle fixed, you are responsible for paying the first $500 of the damages. Your insurance company would pay for the rest. If there is less than $500 of damage, you would have to pay for it all by yourself.

Other Insurance mumbojumbo -

Liability = The amount of insurance you have that provides for someone else. Example, you hit someone, it is your fault, the limits of liability on your policy would pay the other person for their injuries and any property damage. If your limits are too low and it doesn't cover the whole cost, then you have to pay the rest out of pocket. Each state has a minimum of what you can carry, but it's wise to have a policy with $100,000 per person & $300,000 per accident or more.

Your premium is what you pay each month for the service. As you know, the deductible is the 15 or 20 you pay for a visit. But you pay a montly or yearly amount just for the service

Premium is the charge, to you, for insurance.

A premium is the technical term for the cost of an insurance policy. It is the periodic price tag.

premium is the calculated expense for your situation for insurance. This based on many different factors. Like your age, your history and finally what your deductible is ( that is the amount you will pay before insurance kicks in) You can take a 0 deductible but the cost of insurance goes up because you are putting more of the risk on the insurance company. Insurance is risk sharing and is based on actuarial science. Law of numbers. This is how the number are calculated.
