Insurance 101

http://www.primaryimmune.org/publications/book_pats/e_ch22.pdf

This is a GREAT resource!!!!! It goes into Insurance types.. group, COBRA, Individual Health Insurance, the uninsurable and the state help, high-risk pools for uninsurable folks, Medicare (all parts), Medicaid, State assistance programs, and State Children’s Health Insurance Programs (SCHIPs). I call it Insurance 101

It has a section called “The ABCs of health plans where it explains HMO, POS, PPO, Indemnity plan, etc… has a section to explain key parts of JIPAA with some tips for all insurance types and a glossary of insurance terms.
