What is Health Insurance?

When thinking about buying health insurance first ask if you are they kind of person who sees a doctor often, or hardly ever. If often, then perhaps an HMO plan is better because all you pay is a small copay each time you go and virtually all other costs are absorbed by the insurance company. A commonly known downside of an HMO plan is that you cannot see a specialist unless you first seek help from your primary doctor and then get referred to the specialist.

If you seldom or never visit your doctor, and wish to save money on monthly premiums, maybe you should consider a PPO plan. The downside to a PPO is that you are responsible for 100% of your medical costs up to the limit of your deductible, but then the insurance company absorbs the costs beyond that at some percentage split (for example 80/20) up to the next level, and then they pay 100% of everything after that, usually up to $5M. (all plans vary) Another advantage of the PPO is that you can go directly to a specialist and bypass your regular doctor.

If you are the kind of person who will never use your insurance for anything except emergencies, then a Major Medical Plan is what you are likely seeking. This will not cover any routine check up type office visits or routine medical needs. However, if you have an emergency like breaking your leg, it will cover those costs and related rehabilitation as well.
