California Health Insurance Information - Family or Individual
(HMO, PPO, POS or Major Medical Coverage)
Individual or family health insurance can provide the important
protection needed in the event of illness and for regular preventive
care. Using the strength and experience of our health insurance
markets, GDI Insurance Agency can offer affordable HMO, PPO,
POS, and Major Medical Health Insurance policy coverages
throughout California, including the San Jose to San Francisco
metro area.
Health insurance plans that allow you the most choices in doctors
and hospitals also tend to cost more than plans that limit choices.
Individual and family health insurance plans that help to manage the
care you receive, such as PPO and POS plans, usually cost you
less, but you must give up some freedom of choice.

HMO Health Insurance Policy Features - California

* Preventive care emphasis
* Primary care physician (PCP) coordinates your total care
* Must get a referral from your PCP to visit a specialist
* Fixed monthly fee
HMO Health Insurance Policy Overview - California

Subscribers to an HMO receive medical services from participating physicians, clinics
and hospitals. You choose a primary care physician (PCP) from a list of participating
doctors from where you live in California. That doctor is used for typical circumstances
such as annual exams and usual health issues. If you need to see a specialist, be
hospitalized, or have lab or X-ray work, your doctor will refer you to a provider or facility
within the HMO system. Your doctor must give authorization for those services to be
covered by your HMO. In other words, you must see HMO approved physicians and
use HMO approved facilities or pay the entire cost of the visit yourself.

Similar to Point-of Service (POS) and PPO's, HMO's have made arrangements for
lower fees with a network of health care providers and give their policyholders a
financial incentive to stay within that network.

You may have to pay some portion of the cost (co-payment) for each office or hospital
visit, such as $20 - $30 per doctor visit, regardless of what the services cost. Also,
some services such as emergency room, mental health and chemical dependency
services, may carry additional costs in a California HMO health maintenance plan.

PPO Health Insurance Policy Features - California
* Convenient access to quality health care
* Large and diverse network available of primary care physicians,
specialists, hospitals & clinics.
* Pay for services as they are provided
PPO Health Insurance Policy Overview - California
You can see any health care professional in the network any time you choose to
make an appointment. You don't need referrals for specialists or other services as
you do in an HMO. You can see doctors or specialists outside your PPO network,
however, your portion of the costs will be higher.

You may have to pay some portion of the cost (co-payment) for each office or
hospital visit, such as $20 - $30 per doctor visit, regardless of what the services
cost. Also, some services such as emergency room, mental health and chemical
dependency services, may carry additional costs in a California PPO health
insurance plan.

POS Health Insurance Policy Features - California
* Preventive care emphasis
* Pays benefits for out-of-network care, but at a lower level
POS Health Insurance Policy Overview - California

Less restrictive than an HMO or PPO, a (POS) or Point of Service plan lets you see
any licensed health care professional for anything covered by the insurance. Care
you receive from out-of-plan health care professionals is reimbursed, but you must
pay an often times much higher co-payment or deductible amount. While you may
choose to see a physician outside the network, if you don't receive permission from
your (PCP) primary care physician, you're likely to end up submitting the bills
yourself and receiving only a small reimbursement...if any.

Costs that exceed your deductible are covered by a co-insurance plan in which you
and the insurance company share the cost for services covered by the policy.

Also, some services such as emergency room, mental health and chemical
dependency services, may carry additional costs in a California POS health insurance
plan.

Fee-for-Service or Major Medical Health Insurance Policy
(Family or Individual in California)
Major medical health insurance provides benefits up to a high limit for most types of
medical expenses incurred, subject to a deductible. Once you meet the deductible,
our California Major Medical Insurance plans pay a percentage of what is considered
the "Usual and Customary" charge for covered services. The insurance company
generally pays 80% of the Usual and Customary costs and you pay the other 20%,
which is known as co-insurance. If the insurance company charges more than the
Usual and Customary rates, you will need to pay both the co-insurance and the
difference.
With California Major Medical Insurance plans you can choose your doctor and any
hospital for your medical services. You or your doctor send the bill to the insurance
company, which pays part of it. Usually, you have a deductible such as $250 or more
to pay each year before the insurer starts paying. The plan will pay for charges such
as medical tests and prescriptions as well as from doctors and hospitals.
Major medical insurance coverages offer more choice of doctors (including
specialists, such as cardiologists and surgeons), hospitals, and other health care
providers than managed care plans, such as HMO, PPO, and POS. California Major
Medical Insurance may not pay for some preventive care, such as check-ups, and is
usually a more expensive health insurance coverage than utilizing a California HMO,
PPO, or POS plan.
