What You Don't Know Will Hurt You.

Most health care plans come with thick booklets explaining what they cover (or don’t), and lots of fine print.  Even if you are one of the few that takes the time to read through the coverage information, often the language used is confusing—particularly for someone that doesn’t work in the health care or insurance industries.

Nonetheless, it is CRITICAL that you understand the basics of any health plan you are considering, so that you are not caught off guard by huge financial surprises when you are also dealing with a health emergency or serious illness.

Things like Maximum Out-of-Pocket Costs, coverage limitations with In-Network providers and Out-of-Network Maximum Allowable Charges are all health insurance phrases that equate to holes in your coverage that YOU will be responsible for in a health emergency.
