Pa individual health insurance policies are medically underwritten, so pre-existing medical conditions can occasionally raise the premium. However, with most policies, these conditions will not cause a denial of coverage. Health reform changes will eliminate the practice of denial in 2014. However, a likely result is substantially higher premiums. If your household income is below $88,000 per year, tax credits may help you pay the premium.

The three types of Pa individual health insurance are “Catastrophic,” “comprehensive,” and “Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).”

Catastrophic plans generally cover only the major medical expenses, and rates are often very low. Sometimes referred to as a “High Deductible Health Plan,” out of pocket expenses tend to be higher, with limitations on office visits and prescription coverages. Pa individual catastrophic health plans are offered by most companies.

Comprehensive plans offer office visit and prescription coverages, and tend to be the most expensive plans. But raising the deductible on the major medical items can keep the premium quite affordable. Some Pa individual health insurance plans will offer a lower rate, by limiting the number of covered office visits. Another available option to reduce premiums is limited the type of prescriptions that are covered.
