Investing in a California health insurance plan is something that you should do as a resident of the state of California. No matter how fit and healthy you feel yourself to be, how you feel and the actual state of your body’s health will not always match. Moreover, you will never know what may happen tomorrow, so it is always best to be prepared.

Getting a health insurance plan should be considered an investment rather than an expense. A health insurance plan gives you and your family peace of mind to know that in the event that medical attention is necessary you are covered are backed by a state regulated and solvent insurance company. Since your health insurance plan is in essence an investment, you should know the details of what you are purchasing.

It is in your best interest to know the types of California health insurance plans that are available to you. Some of the types of health care plans that are offered in the state of California are as follows:

1. Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs). HMOs work by giving you access to a wide range of health care services in return for a premium that is paid on a regular basis. Your key person in this type of health care plan is your primary physician. He or she will refer you to specialists when you need.

2. Indemnity policies. Indemnity health care policies are what you may call the traditional fee-for-service insurance plans. This type of health care policy allows you to select your own medical provider, although within a designated geographic limitation. You may be expected to make a co-payment if the plan is provided for by your employer, or to settle reimbursable deductible fees before you can be covered.

3. Preferred provider organizations (PPOs). PPOs have contracts with certain health care providers. These policies provide a list of the health care providers that they endorse or contract with, otherwise known as in-network providers and you get the greatest benefit when you seek treatment from in-network providers. Seeking treatment from a health care provider out-of-network is more costly and generally has lesser benefits.

4. Self-insured health plans. Self-insured health plans are often seen among much larger or national companies such as a municipality or a school district, or members of a workers’ union. Members of such groups often contribute at least a part of the cost of the health care plan, and these plans are managed by a third party administrator or TPA.
