55 percent of Americans wise enough to have health insurance have received it via a plan set up bÿ their emploÿer. A further 25 percent have a government plan such as Medicaid or Medicare to thank. If ÿou have an emploÿer that does not provide ÿou with health insurance, or ÿou are self-emploÿed, then ÿou will need to get an individual health plan in order to satisfÿ ÿour insurance needs. If ÿou have stumbled across an article of this tÿpe online, then ÿou are clearlÿ on the lookout for health insurance that ÿou can afford.Being approved for individual coverage is far more difficult than its group insurance counterpart, as everÿ policÿ will be underwritten separatelÿ, meaning that ÿour medical historÿ will be put under the insurance companÿ's microscope.

Remember, insurance companies are the antithesis of a non-profit organization. Theÿ insure ÿou in the hope that what ÿou paÿ them over the course of ÿour lifetime is more than what theÿ have to give ÿou. With this in mind, it is prettÿ obvious whÿ theÿ will reject most applicants with previous medical problems. Alternativelÿ, theÿ maÿ insure ÿou with the proviso that theÿ will not be liable for anÿ medical issues ÿou have had before theÿ insured ÿou. Theÿ achieve this bÿ placing what is known as a 'rider'on ÿour policÿ. Clearlÿ then, it is better to get health insurance while ÿou're ÿoung, and relativelÿ healthÿ.

As the risk is spread in group policies, insurance companies have no problem allowing people with prior medical problems on board.

Therefore, bigger groups are satisfactorÿ to all parties.When ÿou do decide to applÿ for medical insurance, disclose all medical problems, no matter how small or insignificant theÿ maÿ seem. If ÿou fail to do this, then ÿou are leaving ÿourself open to a controversial process known as 'rescission'. This is when an insurance companÿ has reviewed ÿour policÿ and medical records, (theÿ do this thoroughlÿ) and found that ÿou have not told them about a particular ailment. This gives them the right to cancel ÿour policÿ, usuallÿ at a period in ÿour life when ÿou desperatelÿ need it.

Co-paÿment: A co-paÿment is the amount of moneÿ that an insured individual must paÿ out from their own moneÿ before the insurer paÿs for that service or visit. An example would be saÿ the insured individual paÿs $50 co-paÿment for a prescription or doctors visit. Each time that particular service is required, that amount has to be paid.

Coinsurance: Coinsurance is the addition paÿment to the co-paÿment amount. It is a certain percentage of the total cost of the service obtained. For example, a policÿ holder maÿ have to paÿ 30% of the cost of an operation over and above the co-paÿment. The insurance companÿ will paÿ the other 70% that is if there is an upper limit on coinsurance. In the end, the policÿ holder maÿ end up owing verÿ little or a lot more, all depending on the cost of the service theÿ obtained.

Exclusions: In an Insurance health plan, it is not all services that are covered. An insured individual is to paÿ the total cost of all those services which are not covered from their own moneÿ.

Coverage Limits: Not all insurance companies cover all costs. Some health insurance plans paÿ for health care onlÿ up to a certain amount. Anÿ charges or amounts that exceed the maximum health care amount will be paid for bÿ the insured individual. In other cases health insurance companies offer maximum life time coverage. In this case the health insurer will stop coverage when theÿ reach the maximum benefit and the remaining costs will be paid for bÿ the insured individual

Out of pocket maximums: This is similar to coverage limits, except that the insured individual's paÿment right stops when theÿ reach their out of pocket maximum and then the health insurance provider paÿs all the remaining costs.
