    Understanding Coverage

    Coverage is what the health plan does and does not pay for. Coverage includes: benefits, deductibles, premiums, limitations, etc.

    Although the same benefit may be included in each health plan, it may be paid at a different benefit level. For example, emergency care is a benefit common to most plans, however, one plan may pay for 100% of emergency care cost, while some plans may cover 80% of the emergency care expenses, while others 50%.

    There are four basic types of health plans available to people who do not receive Medicare or Medi-Cal. A basic understanding of each is essential to choosing the one that works best for you.
