You may know that there are two types of health insurance: health insurance and managed care plans. Claims plans, also known as reimbursement plans, reimburse your medical costs up to a certain limit. With the Reimbursement Plan, the insurer pays a percentage of the total costs, regardless of the amount of the costs. With the indemnification plan, the insurer pays out a certain amount every day for a certain number of days. The amount that is reimbursed does not depend on the costs of medical care, but what you are reimbursed will never exceed your expenses.
Other popular types of health insurance are managed care plans. There are three types of policies categorized as managed care plans: HMOs, POSs, and PPOs. Managed care plan is more popular than reimbursement plan as they offer more flexibility and benefits to their clients. With these types of options, you pay a monthly fee regardless of how often you see a doctor, or you pay a co-payment but no monthly fee. Managed care plans give you care options. The plan you choose and the amount you’re willing to pay determines how large a network of doctors and specialists you can see and still be covered by the plan. Some managed care plans offer sponsorship programs from a network of hospitals and medical services. You can often get these types of plans through your employers.
On that note, you might think that managed care plans are better for the average person because they are more cost-effective. Then you’re absolutely right. On the other hand, claims settlements can give you much more cost freedom, but you will have to use the health care provider the insurer chooses. If you have a specific disability, that could be a problem. In the long run, a managed care plan will definitely save you money, especially when emergencies arise when you are out of town. These types of plans are also more flexible in policy. One thing you should do is before purchasing health insurance, make sure you research all the options available to you and your family and make your final decision that will make your life more secure than anything else.
