Along with a new year comes a new insurance deductible. The end of the year is always a busy time for a medical office, since everyone tries to get what they need to get done during the current insurance year. Come January 1, it all resets.
The deductible is a way for the insurance companies to share liability. For instance, for a plan with a low deductible, you would expect higher monthly premiums. Conversely, for plans with a higher deductible, you would likely have lower monthly premiums. Generally speaking, you are going to pay one way or another.
