What is Health Insurance?
Health Insurance is a type of insurance coverage that pays for medical, surgical, and sometimes dental expenses. It reimburses the insured for expenses from illness or injury, or pays the care provider directly. Health insurance systems manage member enrollment, benefits administration, claims processing, provider networks, and regulatory compliance.
