Insurance Basics: Home
Planning when to start a family is a big decision, and getting the care you need is important every step of the way. This guide will tell you about types of benefits, types of providers and places to give birth.
Flexible spending plans let you set aside money from your paycheck. You can use it to pay for care before meeting your deductible, and for copays and coinsurance afterward.
Your plan may contract with doctors, dentists and other healthcare practitioners; hospitals; labs; radiology facilities; pharmacies and other types of providers. These are the providers in your “network”.
Since providers are able to decide how much to charge for out-of-network care, sometimes that charge might be higher than you expected.

Healthy lifestyle behaviors include regular exercise and nutritious eating. Are you looking to carry out such behaviors but unsure how to start? If so, you may want to explore the wellness programs offered by your employer or health insurance plan.
