HEALTH INSURANCE
Understanding health insurance can feel overwhelming, but it’s essential for making informed decisions about your health and financial well-being. Here's a breakdown of the key things you should know:
What Does Health Insurance Cover?
Health insurance plans typically cover a range of medical services, including:
-
Preventive Care: Routine check-ups, screenings, vaccinations, and wellness visits.
-
Doctor Visits: Primary care, specialists, and urgent care visits.
-
Hospital Stays: Inpatient care, surgeries, and hospital services.
-
Medications: Prescription drugs and sometimes over-the-counter medications.
-
Emergency Care: Ambulance services, emergency room visits, and urgent medical care.
-
Mental Health Services: Therapy, counseling, and psychiatric care.
-
Maternity and Newborn Care: Prenatal, childbirth, and postnatal services.
Types of Health Insurance Plans
Health insurance plans typically cover a range of medical services, including:
Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)
Requires you to choose a primary care doctor and get referrals for specialists. Generally has lower premiums.
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
Offers more flexibility in choosing doctors and specialists without a referral, though it may come with higher premiums.
Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO)
Similar to PPO, but coverage is only available if you use the insurance company's network of doctors and hospitals.
High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)
Has a higher deductible but often lower premiums. These plans may be paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA) to save money for medical expenses.
Catastrophic Health Insurance
Designed for young, healthy individuals who want to protect themselves in case of serious injury or illness, with low premiums and a high deductible.
