INDIVIDUAL HEALTH INSURANCE: What kinds of health insurance are there?

The typical type of individual health insurance is some form of Managed Care. Managed Care plans cover an array of medical, and hospital expenses. Most also cover prescription drugs and some also offer dental coverage.

Managed Care
More than half of all Americans have some kind of managed-care plan. Various plans work differently and can include: health maintenance organizations (HM0s), preferred provider organizations (PPOs) and point-of-service (POS) plans. These plans provide comprehensive health services to their members and offer financial incentives to patients who use the providers in the plan.

How do I pick a health plan?
If your employer gives you a choice of plans or you need to purchase your own coverage, it is crucial that you understand your health insurance choices and pick the insurance that is best for you and your family.


Here are some questions you should ask yourself or your agent when choosing a health insurance plan:

  1. How affordable is the cost of care?

  1. Should I try to insure most of my medical expenses or just the large ones?

  2. What deductibles will I have to pay out-of-pocket before insurance starts to reimburse me?

  3. After I’ve met my deductible, what percentage of medical expenses are reimbursed?

  4. How much less am I reimbursed if I use doctors outside the insurance company’s network?

  5. Does the insurance plan cover the services I am likely to use?

  6. Are the doctors, hospitals, laboratories and other medical providers that I use in the insurance company’s network?

  7. If I want to use a doctor outside the network, will the plan permit it?

  1. Are the prescription medicines that I use covered by the plan?

  2. What is the quality of the insurance plan I’m looking at?
