Products covered under Health Insurance

What is Health Insurance?
Health insurance is a type of coverage that pays for medical expenses incurred by the insured. It typically covers a range of services such as doctor’s visits, hospital stays, surgeries, and prescription medications. In exchange for regular premium payments, the insurance plan helps reduce the financial burden of healthcare costs, making it more affordable for individuals and families. Health insurance plans can vary in terms of coverage, cost, and network of healthcare providers.
Basic Coverages
Basic health insurance coverage typically includes:
- Preventive Services: Routine check-ups, vaccinations, and screenings to prevent illness or detect issues early.
- Emergency Services: Hospital emergency room visits and ambulance services for urgent medical situations.
- Hospitalization: Costs related to staying in the hospital, including room and board, surgeries, and other inpatient care.
- Outpatient Services: Medical care provided without an overnight stay, such as doctor visits, diagnostic tests, and minor surgeries.
- Prescription Drugs: Coverage for medications prescribed by a healthcare provider.
- Maternity and Newborn Care: Services related to pregnancy, childbirth, and the care of newborns.
- Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Services: Counseling, therapy, and treatment for mental health and addiction issues.

These coverages may vary based on the specific insurance plan and provider.
