My agent said I need to be concerned about coinsurance. What is coinsurance?

It is a policy provision under which you and insurance company share the total cost of covered medical services as a fixed percentage after metting with deductible.

Wrong discussion.

Co-insurance is a co-sharing contract among the insured and the insurer within a health insurance plan which offers that the insured will cover a set percentage of the covered prices right after the insurance deductible has been paid out.

While this answer about health insurance is not quite properly stated, this forum is about BUSINESS INSURANCE, and the "co-insurance" concept in Property and Casualty insurance is a different discussion.

In P&C policies, the co-insurance clause requires the insured to carry the correct minimum amount of insurance on business property or risk not having 100% of a covered loss paid by the insurance company. Normally, that minimum amount is 80% of replacement cost. Failure to carry at least that much coverage will result in only a corresponding percentage of a covered loss paid for by the insurer.

Coinsurance is the percentage you’re needed to pay of the allowed amount for a health care service. For example, an 80/20 coinsurance policy with a $300 insurance deductible involves the insured to pay out 20% of the covered costs after the insurance deductible as been paid, while the insurance provider company will be responsible for the leftover 80%.
