Individual Health Insurance - Customized Coverage for Your Needs

Just a few years ago, most Americans with health insurance coverage received benefits from their places of employment. Today, the majority still gets their health insurance from work, but a growing number are venturing into the individual health insurance market and purchasing coverage on their own.

What many don’t know is that there are some key advantages of individual health insurance over an employer-sponsored health plan. For example, individual plans can provide coverage that’s much more affordable, portable and customized than a health plan from an employer.

There are advantages to group health insurance, but it can pay off big to choose your own health insurance plan. It certainly doesn’t hurt to explore your options.

Individual health insurance can provide coverage for single individuals, families, those who are self-employed, students, seniors, or even if you’re paying too much for your current plan.

Different Individual Health Insurance Plans

There are a lot of different options when it comes to individual health insurance. But that’s a good thing - we all have unique needs and require unique health coverage.

So what are the most common kinds of individual health insurance? Just about every individual health insurance plan in force today is either a managed care or traditional indemnity plan:

• Managed care health insurance plans
  Managed care plans were designed to combat rising health insurance costs and have since become the most common type of health coverage in America — for both employer coverage and individual health insurance. Some of the most popular managed care plans you’ve probably heard of: HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plans, PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans and POS (Point of Service) health plans. Managed care plans create agreements with doctors, hospitals and other health care professionals to form a vast “network” of medical care providers. Those in the network discount the cost of their services in exchange for patient referrals. For you, that translates into lower health insurance premiums.
• Traditional indemnity coverage
  Indemnity plans, also known as Fee-For-Service (FFS) plans, were the most popular type of coverage before managed care was created. FFS plans don’t have any specific agreements with doctors or hospitals — these plans simply cover certain medical services. In other words, one medical service is covered equally by every health care provider.
