German term or phrase: Umlagepflicht
Hi everyone - I would greatly appreciate your assistance with the following heading:

"Feststellung der Umlagepflicht"

Allocation has previously been answered by Johanna Timm here in Kudoz as "allocation" and I would like to stick with that. I do however have troubles getting the "mandatory" or "compulsory" or similar part into this term. I was also thinking along the lines of "allocatability" but that term does actually not describe this concept but something else. There is a bit of "contribution-liable" out there but it sounds horrible to me.

Many thanks

cost-sharing obligation


Explanation:
Example:

For people who have health insurance, including Medicare and other types of coverage, payments for health care fall into two broad categories: premiums and cost sharing. A premium is a fixed, recurring amount paid in advance for an insurance policy (which then limits enrollees’ financial risk by covering some or all of the costs they incur if they use health care services or goods). Cost sharing refers to out-of-pocket payments that enrollees are required to make when they receive health care. In general, premiums spread the cost of medical care across all enrollees, whereas cost sharing concentrates costs on people who use more medical care. To determine the cost-sharing obligations of their enrollees, insurance plans typically vary three basic parameters:

- The deductible, or initial level of spending below which an enrollee pays all costs;

- The catastrophic cap, or limit on an enrollee’s total out-of-pocket spending; and

- The share of costs an enrollee pays between the deductible and the catastrophic cap (which may vary by type of service).

The title ""Feststellung der Umlagepflicht" count translate to: "Adoption of cost-sharing Obligation" or "Assessment of cost-sharing obligation"..

Asker: Thanks Jack for assisting, I amnot quite sure yet if this really touches on cost-sharing, it seems to be some legislated appropriation/allocation that is administered within the health funds...... lets see what else we get and what the discussion brings... Cheers Dan

Asker: Hi Michael, thanks. I think the employer contribution is something different though... but peer agreement may change my view on that :-)
