Is an insurance subscriber automatically responsible for any balance after pays?
Not necessarily. While an insurance subscriber is responsible for copays, coinsurance, and deductibles, they may not be responsible for any balances after insurance if they have met their out-of-pocket maximum. The out-of-pocket maximum is the total amount that an individual is responsible for paying for covered medical expenses before the insurance company begins to cover 100% of the costs.
