Coinsurance is based on the allowable charge for a covered service. Generally, the allowable charge for covered services by in-network providers will be the contract amount. The allowable charge for covered services by out-of-network providers will be based on the contracted amount for Nebraska providers or an amount determined by the on-site plan for out-of-area providers.
