    Terminology

    The terms you’ll find in your health insurance can be confusing. Here are some common terms you’ll find.

    • Co-Pay: This is a set amount you must pay for services provided. For example, office visits to your doctor may have a $50 co-pay. You’d be required to pay $50 and the rest of the bill would be covered by insurance.
    • Co-Insurance: This is a percentage you’ll be required to pay for services provided. If you have an 20% co-pay and a $1,000 bill, you’d be responsible for paying $200 and the remainder would be covered by insurance.
    • Deductible: A set amount that you’re required to pay before your insurance coverage kicks in. A $1,000 deductible means you would need to cover the first $1,000 of a medical bill in a given policy term.

    Questions to ask your agent

    Laws surrounding health insurance have been changing a lot lately, so it can be difficult to know what is required of you. Here are some things to consider:

    • Do I qualify to purchase health insurance or do I need to wait until open enrollment?
      • There are several life events that qualify you to purchase insurance any time of year. If you haven’t experienced one of these events, you’ll need to wait until open enrollment (typically around December).
    • Do I qualify for a subsidy with MNSure? Check out their website first and if you do qualify, you should enroll in coverage with MNSure.
    • How does my insurance cover emergency visits vs. office visits? There is often a huge cost difference to you depending on the type of medical care received.
