healthcare plans
Insurance for treatment
Healthcare plans are arrangements that cover medical expenses, typically through insurance or government programs.
They specify what services are included, what costs are shared between provider and patient, and which doctors or facilities are accessible.
People choose plans based on premiums, deductibles, and coverage: My healthcare plan doesn't cover dental.
In the U.S., healthcare plans are often tied to employment, making job changes consequential for medical coverage.
