• Second, the deductible — the amount you pay out of pocket for covered services before the plan starts paying.
• Third, the copayments and coinsurance — the amounts you pay out of pocket for covered services, usually after meeting the deductible (if applicable). Copays are fixed dollar amounts; coinsurance is a percentage of the cost.

Tier 3 preferred brands require a $100 copay, Tier 4 non-preferred drugs carry a 33% coinsurance, and Tier 5 specialty drugs have no copay.
