A $250 hospital admission fee is not covered by his insurance. What amount did he pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

Amount pay by Benjamin Bradley is $6955  .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Bradley's health care cost included $400 in physician visit co-payments, $150 in physical therapy co-payments, $325 in home health care co-payments, and a hospital bill of $20,475 .

Total cost of the bill = Physician visit payments +  Physical therapy payments + Home health care payments +  Hospital bill

Putting all the values in the above

Total cost of the bill = $400 +  $150 + $325 + $20475

                                 = $ 21350

Benjamin Bradley has a health insurance plan with a $300 deductible.

The plan covers 70% of his hospital charges.

As percentage is 100% .

Thus

Percentage of the hospital bill pay by Benjamin Bradley = (100 - 70)%

                                                                                        = 30%

30% is written in the decimal form .

$= \frac{30}{100}$

= 0.30

Hospital bill pay by Benjamin Bradley = 0.30 × 21350

                                                              = $ 6405

As given

$250 hospital admission fee is not covered by his insurance.

Thus

Total amount pay by Benjamin Bradley  = Hospital bill pay by Benjamin Bradley + Hospital admission fee +  Deductible cost

Putting values in the above

Total amount pay by Benjamin Bradley  = $6405 + $250 + $300

                                                                   = $6955

Therefore the amount pay by Benjamin Bradley is $6955  .
