Frequently Asked Health Questions
Are pre-existing conditions covered?
Yes. Under modern healthcare laws (such as the ACA in the US or universal systems), insurers cannot deny coverage or charge you more due to a pre-existing medical condition.
What is an Out-of-Pocket Maximum?
It is the absolute most you will have to pay for covered medical services in a year. Once you hit this limit, your insurance pays 100% of all covered costs.
