Mary's Story:
Mary is a high school graduate who decided to take a few years to work before entering college.
She is no longer eligible for her parent's insurance and has signed up for her company's PPO
health insurance plan. She pays $637 per year for her insurance premium, and has a $400 yearly
deductible. After she meets the deductible, her insurance will cover 80% of any treatment, while
she will be responsible for 20% of the treatment. Her doctor visit co-pay is $15, her emergency
room co-pay is $75, and her hospital co-pay is $100 for pre-approved admissions. Her co-pays
for prescription medications are $11 for generic drugs and $24 for preferred drugs. Mary does
not get paid time off work.
Mary has two roommates, and her share of the rent and utilities comes to $300 per month.
Because she owns a used car, she has no monthly car payment, but she does pay $80 per month
for car insurance and an average of $120 per month for gas, bringing her average monthly
раy
expenses to $500.
