Health care costs continue to increase! 40% of US citizens are uninsured! Health Insurance 101 (Managed Care)

Why do you need health insurance in the U.S.? In the U.S., unlike most of the world, insurance is privatized. Seeking medical treatment for illnesses or accidents would be very expensive without health insurance Health insurance offsets the cost of doctor bills, surgery, hospital, laboratory and x-ray fees, and pharmacy costs

Vocabulary Deductible: the amount you pay before your insurance starts to pay. Co-Pay: a fixed amount the subscriber pays at the time of service (when you go to the doctor or the pharmacy).

More Vocabulary Premium: monthly fee that is paid to an insurance company to provide health coverage. Pre-existing condition: illness or injury which happened before you purchased your insurance policy. (Examples are: diabetes, cancer, pregnancy)

Even More Vocabulary Provider: the insurance company Subscriber: you (the insured) Out of pocket expense: medical cost which the subscriber (YOU) is responsible for. These are in addition to the cost of the premium. (Examples are deductible, co- pays, etc)

In-network vs out-of-network In-Network A healthcare provider or facility that has a contract with the insurance company. They provide services at a reduced cost to subscribers. Out-of-Network A health care provider or facility that does not have a contract with the insurance company. Treatment at these facilities will cost the patient more.

Types of Insurance Policies: vary in amount of payment and services rendered HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) You are assigned a general practioner That GP will determine if and when and to whom you will go if more specialized treatment is necessary (serves at gatekeeper) PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) Patient may see any doctor on a list of PCPs (Primary Care Providers) Patient may visit specialist without referral from a GP
