By Manuel Foster


In today's world there are many different types of life insurance that are available to anyone that has a need to access it. Choosing the right type of health plan depends on the person and what kind of policy they are looking for to meet their needs. Factors in selecting a good policy can range anywhere from the cost of the to the minimal coverage, and the extra policies that come with it.

A pretty basic example of a type of coverage in a policy is catastrophic. It can cover many types of things form weather related to medical related. The rates are relatively low for this type of coverage but the deductibles that come with it are usually high. If this is your first time hearing about deductibles and you have no idea what they are, it is the cash that you must pay upfront before the insurance begins to take effect.

This type of plan is for the people who have financial means in to handle frequent hospitalization and steady illnesses. The next type of policy is Short term and it is quite similar to the other types except that you can only purchase this type of insurance at certain periods at a time. The coverage that it has can be from catastrophic to comprehensive, with comprehensive being the most costly.

It is fairly common type of policy that is chosen but despite its popularity, it does have strict qualifying methods that probably will not cover any preexisting conditions. Two examples of this are pregnancy and childbirth, which are more than likely not covered. Two other type of common policies are Medicare and Medicaid which is given to people who are putting their retirement and for those who have low income.

The next known type of plan is called PPO. It stands for Preferred Provider Organization and the medical costs that is has are fully covered if the doctor or the hospital belongs to its network of providers. Medical treatments can be performed outside of this plan but the rates on it are usually reduced.

With this type of policy the holders are held responsible for any of the differences that will occur if they seek outside treatment from the network. PPOs are great because it can maintain an administrative control over a group of hospitals and doctors and provide a discount on health care. Still though the organization will require approval before allowing any other major medical services.

The last and final type of insurance is Full Health and it has the best benefits out of all the polices but is the most expensive. Its coverage is extremely great and can be used to treat all kinds of illness anywhere. Another great thing about it is that its deductibles are negotiable and depend on how much the holder is will to put forth allowing for a flexible amount of payments.
