Healthcare insurance or health insurance is any program that helps pay for medical expenses, whether through privately purchased insurance, social insurance, or a social welfare program funded by the government. In a more technical sense, the term “health insurance” is used to describe any form of insurance that covers the cost of an insured individual’s medical, surgical, and sometimes dental expenses. Synonyms for this usage include “health coverage”, “health care coverage”, and “health benefits”.
The U.S. life insurance system was established in the mid-1700s; however, the earliest forms of health insurance did not emerge until 1860 when the Franklin Health Assurance Company of Massachusetts (the first commercial insurance company in the United States) began providing private healthcare coverage for injuries not resulting in death. But it still was decades before the first modern health insurance plans were formed.
When purchasing health insurance, your choices typically fall into one of three categories:
- Traditional fee-for-service health insurance plans: These are usually the most expensive choice, but they offer you the most flexibility in choosing health care providers.
- Health maintenance organizations (HMOs): HMOs offer lower co-payments and cover the costs of more preventive care, but your choice of health care providers is limited to those who are part of the plan.
- Preferred provider organizations (PPOs): PPOs offer lower co-payments like HMOs but give you more flexibility in selecting a provider.
