An insured's "out-of-pocket" costs under major medical expense plans include the deductible, cost-sharing amounts arising from the operation of the coinsurance clause, and medical expenditures that are deemed by the plan to be in excess of "reasonable and customary" charges. Only charges that are "reasonable and customary" for a specific type of service, in a particular location or geographic area, are eligible for reimbursement under medical expense plans. The definition of "reasonable and customary" may vary somewhat from one medical expense plan to another.  more
