From the given information:

Christina Haley of San Marcos who's aged 57 years recently suffered from stroke.

She was in intensive care for 3 days and was hospitalized for 10 more days

Total bill = $135,500

After Discharge;

she spent 25 days in a nursing home at a cost of $170 per day

Amount earned by Christiana per month at her work = $4500

She missed 2 months of going to work.

Christina had a health insurance plan through her employer.

The policy had a $1,000 deductible and an 80/20 coinsurance clause with a $2,000 coinsurance cap

1. How much of Christina’s direct medical expenses was paid by her insurance policy?

The amount the insurance policy paid  can be known by the expression:

= Total bill amount for the care - deduction for policy - coinsurance cap

= $135,000 - $1000 - $2,000

= $ 132,500

2. What did Christina have to pay for her nursing home care?

We are being told that She spent 25 days in a nursing home at a cost of $170 per day

Thus; the amount  Christina have to pay for her nursing home care = 25 × $ 170

= $4,250

3. How much income did Christina lose?

We knew she missed two months from work and she collect $4500 per month.

Thus the amount of income she lose =  $4500 × 2

the amount of income she lose = $9000
