WHAT DOES DEDUCTIBLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Deductible

In an insurance policy, the deductible is the amount of expenses that must be paid out of pocket before an insurer will pay any expenses. Example: if you have a $5000 deductible per year and you happen to spend $6000 this year, you will get your reimbursement for $1000 this year. In general usage, the term deductible may be used to describe one of several types of clauses that are used by insurance companies as a threshold for policy payments. Deductibles are typically used to deter the large number of trivial claims that a consumer can be reasonably expected to bear the cost of. By restricting its coverage to events that are significant enough to incur large costs, the insurance firm expects to pay out slightly smaller amounts much less frequently, incurring much higher savings. As a result, insurance premiums are typically cheaper when they involve higher deductibles. For example, phone companies offer replacement plans, with deductible set at the level of wholesale price of the phone. As added benefit to them, the customer does not switch to different company as they often do with new phone purchase.
