Medical Indemnity: This type of plan will just have a specified deductible and coverage amounts that it will
pay for specific treatment. It will not have a network of medical providers, so it will be up to the doctor or other
medical provider to accept it.
HMO: Health Maintenance Organization - An HMO plan will include a network of medical providers. An insured person must almost
always get treated within this network in order to be covered. Some exceptions may apply in case of an emergency or if the insurance company
network does not have a specific type of provider which would, otherwise, be covered. Despite this restriction, many people are satisfied with
HMO medical plans because they are convenient and simple, and usually require low out of pocket payments or copayments from the insured people.
PPO: Preferred Provider Organization - This type of medical plan also contains a network of medical provider and will provide the
highest amount of coverage for treatment within this network. However, out of network providers for covered medical treatments will still be
covered. The insured person must contribute more towards the cost of non-network providers. Again, emergencies and certain medical procedures
may be exempt from this restriction.
Things to Think About Before Buying a Medical Insurance Plan
- Are you comfortable with a network of health providers, or do you want flexibility?
- Would you rather pay more every month for the security of comprehensive coverage?
- Would you pay a lower health care premium, and then accept more copays when you need healthcare?
- How much of a yearly deductible would you take in order to lower your monthly health insurance rates?
