Catastrophic and High Deductible Health Insurance Coverage

If you're looking for low insurance premiums but want coverage that picks up the slack when it comes to major medical concerns, a catastrophic health insurance policy might be just what you need. Read on for more information about this cost-saving health insurance strategy.

Also known as "high deductible" or "major medical" insurance, catastrophic health insurance is designed to protect you from ruinous medical costs while encouraging you to shop wisely for routine health care.

Here's how it works:

• You choose a higher-than-normal deductible, usually between $1200 and $5950 for an individual, depending on your insurer.
• You agree to cover your own medical costs up to that deductible amount.
• Once you spend up to your deductible, your insurance company covers 100 percent of your medical costs (with certain restrictions).

As you can see, catastrophic health insurance leaves the choice in your hands. You make the choices that fit you and/or your family best; your insurance company rewards you for taking on a measure of additional financial risk.
