Healthcare plans can also be classified under temporary and long term plans. This article will help you understand about the various health insurance plans and which plan is suitable for you.

Group insurance is meant for a certain number of people who want to avoid of medical insurance. While some insurance companies offer group insurance only to corporate employees, others offer group insurance to families of 4 or more.

Short term healthcare plan is meant for people who are currently unemployed. This plan is suitable for people who are changing jobs or are not working for a short period of time. The tenure for these insurance plans is 1 - 6 months but some insurance companies provide short term insurance up to 12 months. This policy covers accidents and new problems that have been noticed after the plan is bought. Existing or old problems that have been noticed 3 - 5 years ago are not covered by this insurance plan.

Travel healthcare plan is meant for people who are travelling to another country for a limited period of time. In this plan all the medical bills are covered by the insurance company while the person is in the other country. International plans are meant for expatriates who work in another country.

The indemnity plan is a flexible option given to people who want to decide the place of their treatment. In this plan the person can choose the place he wants to be treated and by whom he wants to be treated. This plan is suitable for people who want specialized treatments or for people who are particular about the place they are treated. The premium charged is more for flexible indemnity plans.

The premium for any of these plans will be decided upon the status of your health, your age and your medical history. The co payment will be decided by the amount of premium you pay along with other factors.
