Before you decide on your health insurance coverage you need to make sure that you understand terms that are used routinely to describe the plans. 

Network

Every insurance company negotiates with providers to get the best possible deal for their customers while making sure that they have access to quality health care. You need to examine the network to make sure your preferred doctors, dentists and hospitals are in the insurance company’s network. The carrier should provide you with access to a provider directory. 

Formulary

This is the drug list that tells you if any drugs you take are covered and what tier they fall into. Each tier has a different co-pay and some may also have deductibles. Both brand name and generic drugs are included. 

Maximum out of pocket

The maximum out of pocket is the dollar amount that you personally have to pay. Once you have paid this amount, you won’t have to pay any additional fees.
