Health Insurance

Health insurance is protection against medical costs. A health insurance policy is a contract between an insurer and an individual or group, in which the insurer agrees to provide specified health insurance at an agreed-upon price (the premium).

Depending on your policy, your premium may be payable either in an annual lump sum or in monthly installments. Health insurance usually provides either direct payment or reimbursement for expenses associated with illnesses and injuries. If your employer does not offer a health insurance plan, you need to purchase health insurance on your own.

Health insurance is a necessity in today's world. The costs of medical care and treatment continue to increase. Medical costs, if you suffer a major injury or were stricken with a life-threatening illness, can be staggering. Uninsured people live with such risk every day of their lives; health insurance can shield you from that risk. Even if you're healthy today and have never had any major problems in the past, you simply can't predict the future.

Medical bills can affect your financial circumstances and plans negatively they can quickly cause a financial calamity. According to the latest research of Harvard University, nearly fifty per cent of all bankruptcies in the U.S were partly caused by medical debt. 

Having health insurance ensures better health care. Research has shown that people with health insurance are more likely to have a regular doctor and have care when they need it.  Health insurance helps to maintain healthy people.

The American College of Physicians states that uninsured people who are likely to have deadly or serious diseases like pancreatic or breast cancer can be diagnosed by regular inspections. Thus, uninsured persons have lower chances to get disease-prevention service than insured ones and their risk of death raises by 50 percent.

Good health insurance can literally save your life.

The key elements of a health insurance plan are:

  • Lifetime Major Medical Plan Limit: This is the total amount of eligible claims the insurer will pay over the life of the plan.
  • Coinsurance factor: This is the percentage of each claim above the deductible that the insurer is expected to pay. You pay the remainder.
  • Stop-loss Limit: This is the total amount of eligible claims in a year above which the insurer pays 100% of eligible expenses.
  • Deductible (Medical): This is the annual amount for which you are responsible before the insurer begins to pay benefits under the policy.
  • Coverage period: The age at which your health insurance terminates.
  • Premium: What you have to pay the insurance company for the coverage.
