en español Consumer HelpHealth insurance can be a complex topic, and it´s easy to get lost amid the acronyms and legal jargon. Different types of health plans work differently. For instance, if you have a managed care plan, you may have lower up-front costs because your plan carrier and health care provider have agreed upon a contracted rate for service. In addition, you have the convenience of having the provider file claims for you. In a traditional indemnity plan, however, you´ll usually have to the provider for services and then file a claim for reimbursement with your insurance company. If you´re shopping for insurance, it´s important that you understand the basics. The following links define common insurance terms and describe how various types of health coverages work.
