Selecting a group health insurance plan may feel a bit overwhelming, which is why it is always good to use a broker. Here at Harrah & Associates we’ll help you understand the benefits of each policy and provide an objective viewpoint so we can chose the best plan for you.
Medical Insurance Terms
When selecting an insurer and a policy, it’s helpful to understand some of the terms used by the industry.
Lifetime Maximum
A cap on how much the insurance firm will pay for your claims over your policy’s total duration.
Premium
Typically describes how much you need to pay the insurance firm for the policy. Most plans are paid on a monthly or annually basis, although some companies may agree to quarterly payments.
Co-Insurance
The shared amount of money you need to pay for covered medical treatment and services. For example, you may see something like Maternity – 20%. This means that when it comes to Maternity services and treatments, the member will pay 20% of the bill while the insurance firm will pay the remaining 80%.
Excess or Deductible
The amount of money you need to pay before the insurance firm is going to start paying for the medical expenses. This can either be per year, per insurance period, or per incident. You will lower your premium by choosing policies with a higher deductible.
