When reading week one’s listed material of chapter one I have found there are five major types of health care plans that are covered in the material. These five major types of heath care plans are Indemnity Plans, health maintenance organizations (HMO’s), Point-of-Service (POS), preferred provider organizations (PPO’s), and consumer-driven health plans. All of these different types of health plans, or insurance have both similarities and differences.
Some similarities between these major types of health plans are that all of these health plans are working toward a healthy society; they all have co-payment and/or deductibles, and most plans do not cover dental procedures.
