If you've hit the deductible, most plans make the doctor write-off the difference between the doc's inflated charge and the allowable. Then most plans pay 80% or so of the allowable, leaving you responsible for 20% or so co-insurance. Some have co pays like $25 and that's all you pay for routine doc visits.
