I'd have to pay $200 (deductible) + 20% of $500 ($100) = $300 for his doctor visit.



Same for second Doctor visit we'd pay $300 if Doctor bill was $500?



Then if he has 10 of these visits in a year after $2500 we would not have to pay anything more. And if I have to go to Doctor I wouldn't have to pay anything?



Do I have that right? Very sorry...these terms and nuances are just not something I understand.

Close but not quite correct. In your above example your first appointment would cost you $200 to satisfy your son's individual deductible then 20% co-insurance on the remaining balance so an additional $60. The second appointment would be $100 total, or 20% of the balance. Any combination of payments totaling $2500 for all your covered family members would leave any covered procedures at $0 for the rest of the calendar year for all of you. Prescription drug charges are also included in your deductibles and out of pocket maximums, there is not a separate pot of money for them.
