Government Health Insurance Jargon decrypts -

doctor3 The government has proposed new regulations that require each health insurance plan to be in a particular format - yes, it is an attempt to make health insurance easier to understand. Regulations arising from the reform of health care, including a glossary and a uniform standard "Summary of Benefits and Coverage."

Summary A plan benefits and coverage will include information on the co- rate insurance, premiums, and deductibles. There will also be "Examples of coverage" to explain how the consumer would have to pay for breast cancer treatment, pregnancy and diabetes management. coverage Examples help consumers understand the costs associated with certain health care services, but these estimates change with the actual cost of care given. the hospitals charge different amounts for a particular service and the amount a consumer must pay will change depending on the hospital bill.

Are these changes break the code of jargon health insurance? May be. Consumers need to want to have a better understanding of their potential political or policy.

The HHS is taking public comments on proposed regulations that can be seen here.
