How does health insurance work? Imagine you have a $100,000 heart surgery, which is a covered medical expense under your health insurance plan. And let's say this health insurance plan has a one thousand dollar annual deductible 20%, coinsurance after deductible a $2,000 out-of-pocket, limit and a two million dollar annual limit on your health insurance coverage in. This video will explain how these different Components of a health insurance policy work. Before we begin. It's important to note that any health insurance policy purchased after September. 23 2010 will not have a lifetime maximum limit on most of the plan benefits and any health insurance policy purchased. After January 1st 2014 will not have an annual limit on most plan benefits. The first thing we'll talk about in this video is a deductible. What is a deductible? Typically a deductible is the amount? 

Money. You must pay each year before your health insurance plan. Starts to pay for covered medical expenses. So with a $100,000 heart surgery, bill, you are responsible for paying the first $1,000. After this one thousand dollar deductible is met. The insurance. Company will pay a percentage of the bill and you will pay the coinsurance. Let's talk about coinsurance. What is coinsurance typically? Coinsurance is a cost-sharing requirement, where you are responsible for paying a certain Certain percentage and the insurance company will pay the remaining percentage of the covered medical expenses. After your deductible is met for a health insurance plan with 20% coinsurance once the deductible is met the insurance. Company will pay 80% of the covered expenses while you pay the remaining 20% until your out-of-pocket limit is reached for the year. What is an out-of-pocket limit? 

Typically, the out-of-pocket limit is a maximum amount. You will pay out of your own pocket for covered medical expenses in a given year for a plan with a $2,000 out-of-pocket limit, you will pay a $1,000 deductible and $1000 coinsurance. While the insurance company covers the remaining $98,000 of the heart surgery, Bill, even if you're hospitalized again, in the same year, the insurance company will pay 100% of your covered expenses until you reach your annual coverage. Emmett what is an annual coverage limit? Some health insurance plans, Place dollar limits upon the claims and insurance company will pay over the course of a plan year. So if you bought an insurance policy with an effective date of a July 2011, your plan your would run from July 2011 until June 2012. If you have an annual coverage limit of 2 million dollars and you have medical bills that cost more than two million dollars during your plan year, you would be responsible for paying those bills out of you. 

Pocket. Once your new plan, your begins in July 2012, your deductible, coinsurance and out-of-pocket, limit and annual coverage limits would all reset, and the insurance company would once again, begin to pay your covered claims beginning September 23rd 2010, the patient protection and Affordable Care. Act Health Care reform, begins to phase out annual dollar limits, starting on September 23rd, 2012 annual limits on health insurance. Plans must be at least 2 million dollars. And by 2014, no new health insurance plan will be permitted to have an annual dollar limit on most covered benefits. Some health insurance plans purchased before March 23rd 2010 have what is called grandfathered status health. Insurance plans with grandfathered status, are exempt from several changes required by Health Care reform, including this phase-out of annual limits on health coverage. Here's one more concept.
