This is a kind of health insurance whose target market is individuals and families instead of employer groups or organizations. If given a choice, most people would rather have their employers give them health insurance coverage. However, even if your employer doesn’t include health insurance plans as part of your total compensation package, it is essential for you to be covered. Individual and family health insurance are either indemnity or managed-care plans. You have a wider selection of health care providers with indemnity plans and they reimburse patients for the procedures done only after they receive a claim. On the other hand, managed-care plans have an established network of healthcare experts who will perform services to the plan member at reduced prices and they will be the one to forward the claim to your health insurance provider. Managed-care health insurance plans have a few kinds. These are the HMO (Health Maintenance Organizations) , PPO (Preferred Provider Organization and POS (Point of Service) plans.
