The Smith family has a $1,000 annual family deductible with a coinsurance provision of 80/20. The family's claims for the year are $200, $300, $400, $500, $300, and $300, totaling $2,000. The insurer is responsible for paying:

  1. $600

  2. $800

  3. $1,000

  4. $1,200

The correct answer is: $600

In this scenario, the family's total claims for the year amount to $2,000, but they have a $1,000 annual family deductible. Since the deductible has not been met yet, the insurer is responsible for paying the amount above the deductible according to the coinsurance provision of 80/20. Therefore, the insurer is responsible for paying 80% of the amount exceeding the $1,000 deductible, which is $1,000. 80% of $1,000 is $800, so the correct answer is $800, which is option B.
