Expert Solution

1: First claim amount = 1200

Less: Deductible = 500

Balance = 700

Insurance company will pay 80% = $560

2: Secondclaim amount = 9000

Less: deductible = 500

Balance = 8500

Amount payable by Rico = 20%*8500=1700

but the maximum copayment = 1500

Amount paid by Rico in first claim = 700-560=140

Balance payable by Rico = 1500-140 = 1360
