Types of Health Insurance Coverage

Knowing what is covered ahead of time is key to finding the right plan for you. From medical care to prescriptions to dental or vision, learn about the types of health coverage available to you.

Health insurance plans come in all shapes and sizes. That's why it's important to assess your needs before you choose a plan. Some plans are comprehensive, meaning that they cover a wide range of services. There are also more limited plans that cover specific services, for example, a hospitalization-only plan. Short-term plans are also available for people who are looking to fill a gap in coverage.

Aside from medical coverage, some health insurance plans offer coverage for additional services such as maternity coverage, dental coverage, prescription drug coverage and vision coverage. These services are not automatically covered in all plans, so it's important to check your plan if you need these services.
