What is Health Insurance?
Health Insurance companies, also sometimes referred to as "healthcare payers," handle the delivery of health insurance plan benefits to customers (e.g., policy holders), address any related customer issues and manage networks of healthcare providers (e.g., physicians, hopitals, etc.). Health insurance can be provided on an individual or group (company or family coverage) basis. Services provided by health insurance companies to their plan members include healthcare provider identification and selection, claims processing, healthy living education and online account management, among other various forms of health-related assistance. Health insurance companies are also responsible for maintaining relationships with network healthcare providers (physicians, clinics, hospitals, etc.) to ensure continued coverage.
