Insurance Basics
Health insurance is a contract between you and an insurance provider that offers financial coverage for medical expenses. In exchange for paying a premium, the insurance company agrees to pay a portion of your medical costs, including doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, and medications.
How Does Health Insurance Work?
Premium: This is the amount you pay, typically monthly, to keep your health insurance active.
Deductible: The deductible is the amount you pay out-of-pocket for covered services before your insurance starts paying.
Copayments and Coinsurance: These are your share of the costs for a covered healthcare service, paid after you've met your deductible. A copayment is a fixed amount (like $20 for a doctor's visit), while coinsurance is a percentage of the cost (like 20% of the cost of a hospital stay).
Out-of-Pocket Maximum: This is the most you'll have to pay during a policy period (usually a year) for health care services. Once you've reached this limit, the insurance company pays 100% of the allowed amount for covered services.
Key Benefits of Health Insurance
Financial Security
Health insurance protects you from the high costs of healthcare. It covers significant expenses that could otherwise be financially overwhelming, such as emergency surgeries or long-term medical treatments.
Access to Care
With health insurance, you gain access to a network of doctors, specialists, and hospitals. This ensures you receive timely medical care without worrying about the full costs.
Preventive Services
Most health insurance plans cover preventive services like vaccinations, screenings, and annual check-ups at no extra cost. This proactive approach helps in maintaining your overall health and catching potential issues early.
