Expert Solution

a) If the emergency room is within the network, then Dave will have to pay 20% of 1000$ that is 200$ as that is the scheme, 80% concerned insurer and 20% Dave has to pay out of his own pocket

b) If the emergency is not within the network, then Dave will have to pay 50% of 1000$ that is 500$ out of his own pocket, as out of network deal is 50-50 if not covered in the insurance network.
