What are the major types of health insurance policies?

There are basically two major types of health insurance policies for individuals from which to choose — comprehensive and supplemental. These health insurance plans help cover your medical, surgical, and hospital expenses. They may even cover dental expenses, mental health services, and prescription drugs, depending on the coverage you choose.

 

Comprehensive

A comprehensive plan is a more traditional healthcare plan. It covers all types of medical and health issues including hospitalizations, emergency rooms, doctors and so forth. You typically have a deductible and pay a co-payment to your provider for every healthcare service you receive.

 

Supplemental

A supplemental plan pays specific amounts for specific coverages. These plans are not what has been historically common coverage; but have become more popular as comprehensive plans have gotten out of financial reach for some. Different plans are emerging to fill this gap and have better and better benefits.

 

Common Health Insurance Terms

When discussing health insurance, it helps to understand some common terms:\

 

Deductible – the amount of money you have to pay toward medical bills before your insurance begins.  A $1,000 deductible means that you will have to pay $1,000 out of your own pocket before insurance kicks in a dime. However, some policies may exclude prescription drugs from the deductible.

 

Co-pay – a specified amount of money you pay upfront for doctor visits and prescription refills.  For example, all doctor’s office visits may have a $20 co-pay.

 

Coinsurance – the percentage of medical bills you pay after meeting the deductible.  Many policies are paid on an 80/20 basis after the deductible has been met. This means that the insurance pays for 80% of the bill while you pay 20%. A $100 procedure would cost you $20 after your deductible has been met.

 

One size does not fit all
