There are the main plans, like Indemnity Plans and Managed Care Plans.
And there are other, more niche, insurance plans.

• Discount Medical Plans can help if you don’t have other insurance...but are not a replacement for more extensive coverage.

WARNING: Discount Medical Plans are NOT insurance.
When you buy membership, you are buying access to a roster of care providers that offer significant discounts to members.
So, be wary of advertising claims such as, “no deductible or co- pay,” or “pre-existing conditions covered.”

• Reputable plans can help people who can't afford or find insurance get discounted rates.
• Discount medical plans may lower your out-of-pocket costs, but they will not protect you from the financial costs of a medical emergency.

Contract terms for a critical illness supplemental policy have specific rules that define when a diagnosis of a critical illness is considered valid. In most cases, a physician will need to confirm it before this type of insurance kicks-in.

There are two kinds of Disability Insurance:
1. Short-term
2. Long-term
When you begin considering this coverage, think about how long you’ll need it.

Benefits generally end after five years or when the disabled individual turns 65.

Worker’s compensation insurance protects employers from lawsuits resulting from workplace accidents.
Worker’s compensation is required in nearly every U.S. state, although state laws vary for the governance of workers compensation.

What benefits does worker’s comp provide? Medical care to employees injured on the job
and compensation for lost income.
In the event of death, worker's compensation will disburse benefits to surviving spouses and dependents.

Worker's compensation insurance is not part of any health insurance policy or group plan and must be purchased separately by employers.
Worker's compensation is a "no fault system," meaning you cannot later sue your employer for further damages.

Travel health insurance coverage can be as flexible as your traveling schedule.
Plans range from as few as five days or for time periods lasting over a year.
If you are planning to be out of the country for more than six months, you need a long term health coverage plan.
![Page 24: HealthCompare Insurance - Understanding other types of insurance](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110118/5554f451b4c90566278b52e5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Typically these plans provide coverage for accidents, emergencies and illnesses.
If you seek medical attention for existing conditions while you are abroad for a condition you already have, some plans may not cover all of those costs.
