Comparing the Costs of a Regular Health Insurance Policy and an
HMO. A health insurance policy pays 65 percent of physical therapy
cost after a $200 deductible. In contrast, an HMO charges $15 per
visit for physical therapy. How much would a person save with the
HMO if he or she had 10 physical therapy sessions costing $50
each?
Cost with insurance = 200( first 4 sessions) + [ 0.35 * ( 6 * 50)( 6 sessions) = $305
HMO cost = 15 * 10 = $150
Saving = 305 - 150 = $155
