Both terms relate to insurance, but mean different things.
A deductible is the amount of money that the insured has to pay toward a covered occurrence before the insurer's obligation to pay anything is triggered. For example, if an auto policy had a $250 collision deductible, the insured would be responsible for the first $250 in repair costs; the insurer would pay the rest. The theory is the same in the case of health insurance.
A premium is the amount of money that the insured pays in return for insurance coverage. In other words, it is the price of the policy. It is generally payable on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

The higher your premium the lower your deductible, and the lower your premium the higher your deductible.

After you have met your deductible the insurance company covers the rest of the expenses.

The premium is what you pay for the policy. The deductible is what the insurance company will not pay for what is covered. For example you buy a car policy for collision. You pay the premium of $50.

If the damage was less than the deductible, you get nothing.

what is an deductible?
A deductible is the amount that the insured has agreed to pay before the insurer is obliged to pay anything on a covered claim. It can be considered to be an amount for which the insured has agreed to "self-insure". In general, there is a correlation between deductibles and premium, in that a higher deductible will correlate with a lower premium.
