Catastrophic health insurance plans:

Limit your medical expenses in case of emergency

May offer affordable monthly premiums

Usually have a high annual deductible

May have higher out-of-pocket costs for covered services

Don't always provide coverage for preventive care
A catastrophic plan may be right for you if:
•You have no pre-existing medical conditions
•You're not on regular prescription drugs
•You rarely see the doctor
•You can't afford more robust coverage
•You expect to have other coverage within 6-12 months
•You only want coverage in case of emergency
