Andrew is insured by Leroux Health Insurance under Plan A. The plan includes a $248.00 monthly premium with a $5,500.00 annual deductible (not including co-pays). Andrew is severely asthmatic. He visits his primary care physician twice a month and his asthma specialist once a month. He has two separate generic inhalers that need to be refilled on a weekly basis. To make matters worse, Andrew has recently been diagnosed with appendicitis and is scheduled to have his appendix removed in the morning. The procedure will cost about $1,500. Considering his frequent doctor visits, many prescription refills, and his appendix removal in addition to his monthly premium, how much will Andrew pay in health care related fees this year?
