Financial Planning Exercise 2

David Chen was seriously injured in a snowboarding accident that broke both his legs and an arm.

All of these charges fall within customary and reasonable payment amounts.

ask : What would David's out-of-pocket expenses be if he belonged to an HMO with a $15 co-pay for office visits? Round to the nearest dollar.
