The insurance premium is the amount you pay the insurance company every month. The insurance deductible is the set amount which you pay out of pocket for repairs after you make a claim. For example... you may pay $100 to the insurance company every month for the insurance policy and have a $500 deductible. If you file a claim you are expected to pay for $500 of the repairs yourself, while the insurance policy covers anything above that amount up to your max limits.

Health Insurance Plans: Cost Basics?
Health insurance plans have three main components: the premium, the deductible and the co-insurance. The premium is the money that you pay each month to be covered by the health plan. This is the only part of the plan that is paid whether you use your insurance or not. The deductible is the amount of money you have to pay out of pocket each year, before your insurance company will begin picking up part of the bill. The co-insurance is the portion of the bill that you are required to cover after the deductible has been reached. These companies together make up your actual cost of health insurance.

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