New to private health insurance. Don’t understand billing.
Sorry if this is very basic. My entire adult life I have had military health insurance and recently left and switched to my new employers BCBS plan. I recently took my daughter to the doctor after she had a fall and hit her head. I paid no copay, but now I have a bill from the office.

First of all, $127.85 =/= $193.00. Why?
Second, does this mean that the insurance pays nothing until I hit my deductible?
