Description
Health insurance can be as confusing as it is necessary. This approachable guide answers readers' questions about this important aspect of our healthcare system.
Part of the Q&A Health Guides series, this book offers a broad introduction to health insurance in the United States. The book's questions explore the various forms of health insurance, types of coverage, and key concepts such as premiums, deductibles, and copays. Readers will find practical guidance on topics such as choosing a plan, understanding EOBs, and navigating potentially difficult situations such as pre-authorization and appeals. This book serves as an especially useful guide for young adult readers who may be enrolling in health insurance through their school or employer for the first time.
Augmenting the main text, a collection of 5 case studies illustrate key concepts and issues through relatable stories and insightful recommendations. The Common Misconceptions section at the beginning of the volume dispels 5 long-standing and potentially dangerous myths about health insurance, directing readers to additional information in the text. The glossary defines terms that may be unfamiliar to readers, while the directory of resources curates a list of the most useful books, websites, and other materials. Finally, whether they're looking for more information about this subject or any other health-related topic, readers can turn to the Guide to Health Literacy section for practical tools and strategies for finding, evaluating, and using credible sources of health information both on and off the internet.
