Understanding Health Insurance
Navigating the complex and layered world of Health Insurance can be an intimidating experience. Industry-specific terminology, in and out of network options and changing federal law make it even more difficult to understand your own Health Insurance needs.

Options available to individuals who may not have health benefits through their jobs can be overwhelming and purchasing a simple catastrophic Health Insurance policy is just not enough for most people. There are an almost infinite number of options, each with its own benefits and drawbacks that include:

Individual plans
Group plans
Managed care plans
Medicare and Medicaid
Supplemental, and
COBRA for laid-off employees
Finding the kind of Health Insurance you need requires an understanding of what you and your family need, federal law, state law and all the specifics of the insurance industry.

This is why you need an agent or agency who knows you, your needs, your area and will discuss what Healthcare Insurance options are right for you. iQuote will help you find an agent tailored to you.
Evaluating Your Life Insurance Needs
For many Americans, Health Insurance is delivered as a benefit to their jobs. Most health benefits as they've come to be known, are offered with the employer paying a portion of the monthly premium and the employee contributing another percentage based on how many family members will be covered. This is a typical Group Health Insurance plan that is often less expensive based on a discount for multiple participants.

People who do not have health benefits offered through their work may require an individual plan. Individual plans tend to be more expensive and offer fewer options simply because you and your family are the only participants.

Your premiums on individual plans are calculated based on a variety of factors including you and your family's health. You'll probably need to fill out a health questionnaire before you know exactly what your policy will cost you.

Medicare is a federal benefit available to retired citizens 65 years old and older regardless of medical condition. Most people are enrolled in the system automatically based on having paid into the social security system for years. Medicare coverage is divided into three parts:

Part A – hospital insurance
Part B – medical insurance
Part C – Medicare + choice
The Part C of Medicare allows you to opt in for supplemental insurance to cover some or all of the expenses that parts A and B do not.

As you can see, there is no simple, one-size-fits-all answer to the question of Health Insurance. Clearly, this is where an insurance expert can help you navigate the complexities of insurance options available to you. iQuote can help you find a local expert who understands your needs.
Health Insurance FAQ
What is Health Insurance?
Health insurance is often provided as a benefit to employment. Your employer may pay a small or significant portion of the monthly premium and the terms may require you to contribute a percentage from each pay period. The insurance itself is designed to cover any medical or hospital expenses you or your family might incur either in part or in full.

Who needs Health Insurance?
Anyone with medical expenses needs Health Insurance. With the cost of hospital stays, medical treatment and drugs going up seemingly every day, paying for medical treatment virtually requires help in the form of medical insurance.

How does Health Insurance work?
There are basically two types of Health Insurance plans – group and individual. The type of plan you may have through work is likely a group plan. With many people participating in the plan, the insurance company has an incentive to discount premiums. Not so with an individual plan. There are also supplemental plans designed to help cover whatever Medicare does not after you retire.

How much does it cost?
The cost of Health Insurance varies widely depending on the plan coverage, your employment and sometimes the health or health risk of the individual. In round numbers, Health Insurance can run from between $400 and $600 per month for an individual to $1,500 or more per month for a family of four. Your iQuote local insurance expert will be able to walk you through all your options.
