      For those unfamiliar with the complexities of health insurance, understanding how it works can be daunting. Simply put, health insurance is a contract between an individual or family and an insurance company, where the insurance company agrees to cover a portion of medical expenses in exchange for a monthly premium. In return, the insured party promises to pay a portion of the costs, known as the deductible or copayment. When a medical emergency arises, the insurance company reimburses the insured party for the covered expenses, minus the deductible or copayment.
