medical coverage
Doctor bill protection
Medical coverage is insurance or a benefit plan that pays for healthcare expenses—doctor visits, hospital stays, prescriptions, and medical procedures.
The term often appears in discussions of employment benefits: Does the job offer medical coverage?
Having coverage means being insured; lacking it means paying out of pocket or going without care.
