What is Catastrophic Health Insurance?

Catastrophic Health Insurance

Catastrophic health insurance can offer a very low premium when compared to other health insurance plans. It is designed for patients who are generally healthy and do not necessarily have the need to visit their physician regularly. The plan usually does not cover regular doctor visits (check ups, etc.) but it does provide major hospital and medical expenses coverage.

Catastrophic health insurance plans are designed to provide emergency protection against unexpected medical costs. Catastrophic health coverage is medical coverage made affordable by having a high deductible and a low premium.

Should you purchase catastrophic health insurance? Catastrophic health coverage can work 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
