Important Enrollment Words

Choosing insurance can be confusing, especially if you have never had it before.  A few years ago (a couple years before the ACA said I could stay on my parents’ insurance until I turned 26), I graduated from college, got a job, and then had to enroll in insurance for this job.   Flipping through the enrollment booklet, each page contained an enormous amount of mumbo jumbo.   Thankfully, I had my dad to guide me.  Link to age 26

With the existence of the ACA, more people are able to get insurance.   When comparing health insurance plans, you  may run into the same problems I did.  The following infographic is a great way to get started in understanding very important words. 

If you are looking to be even more fluent in the language of health care insurance, the online Marketplace (believe it or not) is an awesome resource for information and definitions.
