  3. HMO: Health Maintenance Organization • Group insurance that entitles members to services at participating hospitals. • Traditionally lower monthly payments and co-pay. • Doctors serve as gate-keepers to care.

  5. Deductible • A specific dollar amount that your health insurance company may require that you pay out-of-pocket each year before your health insurance plan begins to make payments for claims. • Not all health insurance plans require a deductible. • As a general rule (though there are many exceptions), HMO plans typically do not require a deductible, while most PPO plans do.

  6. Coinsurance • The amount that you are obligated to pay for covered medical services after you’ve satisfied any co-payment or deductible required by your health insurance plan.
