Medical Insurance Options
Some of your options include managed health plans like the HMO and PPO or you can get policies that will give you true flexibility like with the HSA or fee-for-service health plans.
With the HMO and PPO (Health Maintenance Organization and Preferred Provider Organization), you are given a low flat-rate premium. The HMO is cheaper than the PPO and you are required to pick one of their in-network doctors as your Primary Care Physician, PCP. The PCP is the only doctor you can go to unless you are referred. The PPO allows you to choose any doctor you want, but by using an out-of-network doctor, your co-payments will be higher.
The HSA, Health Savings Account, offers you a way to save money without worrying about taxes. You can withdraw and deposit money for medical expenses without any restrictions. Most health plans don't allow coverage for certain medical expenses like from a chiropractor or eye care. To qualify for an HSA, you must be enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan, or HDHP. The money you accumulate by retirement age, you can use for personal reasons without penalties.
