As you begin to look at the different levels of coverage offered by Colorado health insurance companies, here are some of the terms you are likely to see, and how they are defined.

  • Co-payment (or co-pay): This is a fixed dollar amount that patients pay to their providers at the time of service. A typical co-pay ranges between $10 and $30 for a doctor's visit and $75-$100 for emergency treatment.
  • Co-insurance: This is a pre-determined percentage that you must pay towards medical services until you reach an out-of-pocket maximum, at which point the insurance company pays 100%.
  • Deductible: The amount you must pay toward your doctor's visit or eligible medical treatment before the insurance company pays. Usually, the lower your plan's premium costs, the higher your deductible will be.
  • HMO (Health Maintenance Organization): These insurance programs require the insured to choose providers from a predetermined list of approved doctors and hospitals.
  • PPO (Preferred Provider Organization): These insurance programs allow you to select your doctors from an approved list of providers.
  • Pre-existing Condition: This is a diagnosis or medical condition that was already in existence before your new health insurance policy became effective.

The more you learn about health insurance terminology, the easier it will be to choose a the right health insurance provider in Colorado.
