Types of Health Plans

In order to understand your health care coverage, you must first be able to identify what type of health plan you may have. There are 3 different health plans available to consumers:

• Private Health Plans are the most common. These are health plans offered by employers to their employees. They can also be purchased by an individual.
  
  
• Medicaid is government funded health care, typically provided for low-income individuals and families.
  
  
• Medicare is government funded health care, typically provided for individuals ages 65 and over.
