Types of Plans

Private health insurance offers plans tailored to different budgets, coverage levels, and healthcare needs, helping individuals and families choose what best fits their lifestyle and care needs:

Basic Plans

Lowest premiums, highest deductibles

Covers essential and emergency care

Best for healthy people who want major-event protection

Standard Plans

Moderate premiums with balanced costs
Includes doctor visits, prescriptions, preventive care

Good for individuals or families needing occasional care

Comprehensive Plans

Higher premiums, lower out-of-pocket costs

Broad coverage including specialists and hospital stays

Ideal if you expect regular or ongoing medical needs

Family Plans

Built for households with dependents
Includes pediatric, maternity, and preventive services

Cost-effective for families needing wider protection

More Options...

Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plans

PPO plans offer flexibility in choosing healthcare providers. You can see any in-network provider without a referral, but out-of-network care will cost more.

Point-of-Service (POS) Plans

POS plans combine features of HMO and PPO plans. You need a referral from a primary care physician to see specialists, but you can receive care out-of-network at higher costs.

Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Plans

HMO plans require you to use in-network providers and get referrals from a primary care physician. These plans typically have lower premiums and out-of-pocket costs.

Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) Plans

EPO plans only cover in-network care except in emergencies. No referrals are needed to see specialists, making them more flexible than HMOs but without out-of-network benefits.

Important Questions

What Should I Budget for Health Insurance?

The cost of health insurance varies based on your age, location, family size, and the type of plan you choose. You’ll want to think about the monthly premium you’ll pay to keep your coverage, the deductible you need to meet before insurance starts paying, and the copays or coinsurance you’ll share for doctor visits, prescriptions, and other care. Each plan also has an out-of-pocket maximum, which is the most you’ll spend in a year before your insurance covers everything else. Keeping these factors in mind will help you find a plan that protects your health without breaking your budget.

Can I Work with My Preferred Doctor?

Yes, in many cases you can — but it depends on the type of health insurance plan you choose. Some plans, like PPOs, give you more flexibility to see doctors and specialists both in and out of network, while others, like HMOs, require you to stay within a specific network of providers. To make sure you can continue seeing your preferred doctor, always check whether they are included in your plan’s network before enrolling.
