A health insurance plan has several important elements which include plan type,
deductibles, Co-Insurance, Out of pocket maximums, Benefit ceilings, and optional
insurance benefits.
Health Insurance Plan types include HMO, Indemnity, Medicare,
and PPO. HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plans can be more restrictive but
usually carry significant savings to the insured. Indemnity plans allow you more
choices but the costs to the insured are typically higher. Medicare plans cover
senior citizens past the age of 65 and people with extreme disabilities. PPO (Preferred
Provider Organization) plans usually offer a large list of doctors to choose from.
They provide more choices than a traditional HMO plan but also cost more.
A health insurance plan deductible is the amount you pay before
the insurance company pays.
Co-Insurance is the percentage the insurance company will
pay after the deductible is met.
Out of pocket maximum is the most you can pay during a one
year period. A health insurance plan typically 'resets' each year. In other words,
you'll be expected to meet the deductible and co-insurance maximums every year.
A benefit ceiling is the maximum amount the insurance company
will pay. Most health insurance plans offer at least a $1,000,000 benefit ceiling.
Optional insurance benefits or riders are additional coverage's
you can select. Some insurance plans offer vision, dental, chiropractic, maternity,
etc. The benefits add to the cost of the health insurance plan but may be necessary
for your family.
