 Searching for the best health insurance plan that fits both your needs and those of your family can be difficult if you do not have experience with insurance.  One of the best things that you can do is to look for resources on the internet which can guide you in making your decision.  Here are some of the common terms used in the health insurance industry.

Co-insurance – This is the percentage amount which will be paid by the insured.  The most commonly used split is 80/20, which means that 80% will be paid by the insurance company and the remaining 20% will be paid by the insured.

Co-payments – This is usually a fixed amount that should be paid by the insured in exchange for the services that he gets.  This amount is usually applicable in buying prescription medications and visiting your doctors.

Coverage – The insurance company will pay you if you are undergoing these conditions.

Deductibles – This is the amount that the insured must pay before the health insurance company will provide the benefits.

Exclusions – A list of coverage which are not covered in your insurance policy.

High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) – This is a type of insurance plan which has higher deductibles and lower premiums compared to a traditional plan.  Members of this plan can also obtain a Health Savings Account (HSA).
