FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


WHAT IS HEALTH INSURANCE?

Health insurance is a plan, or policy, that covers a percentage of doctors’
visits and hospital bills. It helps offset the costs of both planned and
unplanned medical needs. Medical care can be expensive, but health insurance may
help lessen the financial burden.

And health insurance isn’t just for when you’re sick or injured. It can also
help you stay healthy through preventive care and wellness programs. This may
help you save money, too, by catching potential health concerns before they
become larger issues.


HOW DOES HEALTH INSURANCE WORK?

Health insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company (the
insurer). When you purchase a plan, you become a member of that plan. Each
month, you’ll likely pay a fee, called a premium, to use the plan.

There are many different types of health plans, but they generally work the same
way. You pay for some medical costs and your insurer pays for some costs. How
those costs break out depend on your specific plan benefits and coverage.

HOW DO I GET HEALTH INSURANCE?

Finding the right health insurance plan depends on a variety of factors. These
include things like your age, health and financial situation. For example, if
you’re over 65 or have a qualifying disability or special situation, you may be
eligible for Medicare. If you have a lower income, you may qualify for Medicaid.
If you want to purchase an individual plan, an Affordable Care Act (ACA) plan
could be an option. Or, you may have the option to get health insurance through
your employer.

Most health insurance plans have a special period of time, usually once a year,
when you can enroll. This is called open enrollment. It’s when you can start,
stop or change your health plan. Timing of open enrollment varies based on the
plan.


Learn more about open enrollment


WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEALTH INSURANCE?

There are a variety of health insurance plans that fit different needs. Some
plans are offered through the government, like Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans,
Medicare plans and Medicaid plans. There are also health plans you can get
through your employer. Or, you can purchase a plan on your own, like short term
health insurance that offers coverage for a limited amount of time.
Understanding the different health insurance options can help you find the plan
that may work best for you.

You may also see terms like HMO, PPO, EPO and POS ­— these refer to the four
basic kinds of provider networks that certain health plans may offer. A network
may include doctors, hospitals and other providers that agree to provide
services to plan members at a negotiated rate. This may help lower your
out-of-pocket costs.

Learn more about the different types of health insurance


HOW MUCH DOES HEALTH INSURANCE COST?

It depends. A variety of factors impact how much you pay. These can include your
age, your location and lifestyle habits. It also depends on the type of plan you
choose. With some plans, you may pay less up front, but more when you receive
care. For other plans, the opposite can be true.

Learn more about health insurance costs


WHAT DOES HEALTH INSURANCE COVER?

Coverage is unique to each health plan. Many plans may cover things like
preventive care, prescription drugs, hospital stays, mental health services and
more. A plan may cover the full cost of certain services, or you may have to
share costs (by paying a copay or coinsurance, for example) until you meet a
deductible or out-of-pocket limit.

Make sure to review benefits and coverage before choosing a plan. You can find
this information in the plan’s Summary of Benefits and Coverage. This is a
document that all health plan companies are required to provide. It outlines
what’s covered, partially covered or not covered under a health plan.
