An Individual Medical Policy is a health insurance plan that provides comprehensive coverage for medical expenses incurred by an individual. Unlike group health insurance provided by employers, this policy is purchased directly by individuals or families from insurance companies or healthcare marketplaces.
This policy ensures financial security against medical expenses, giving individuals and families control over their healthcare needs.
Individual medical policies cover hospitalization, doctor visits, prescription drugs, preventive care, and sometimes dental and vision services, tailored to suit individual healthcare needs.
Individual medical policies offer financial protection against unexpected medical expenses, reducing the overall cost burden despite deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance.
Individual medical policies often cover preventive care services like vaccinations, screenings, and wellness visits, typically at little or no cost, promoting early detection and better health.
Individual medical policies are portable, allowing policyholders to maintain coverage during job changes or relocations, ensuring continuous healthcare protection from one company to another company.
The cost of individual medical policies varies based on coverage, plan type, and health status. Subsidies or tax credits are often available to make premiums more affordable for eligible individuals and families.
