prepaid service plans - -this type of plan provided a set allowance (level of
benefit) for hospital/medical services and paid them directly to the provider
ex: blue cross blue shield
-indemnity plans - -plans that reimbursed or indemnified a set dollar
amount to the subscriber
-first dollar coverage - -plan pays benefits from the minute an expense is
incurred. the subscriber pays no expense. this model was used in early
hospital and medical plans when costs and utilization patterns were lower
this type of coverage is not used often today
it has been replaced with plans that use deductibles, coinsurance provisions
or other cost containment measures. managed care has also replaced this
type of coverage

-what were the early cost sharing techniques used in major medical
coverage? - -deductibles and coinsurance
-deductibles - -the amount of covered medical expense that a subscriber
must pay before the plan pays benefits
-coinsurance - -amount that is usually a percentage of total charges for
which the plan participant is responsible once the deductible is exceeded
-what are the good parts to using deductibles and coinsurance as cost
saving devices? - -1. may lead to a reduction in the use of health services
and thus a reduction in costs
2 may reduce premiums because the health plan pays less. saving are
passed to the employer and or employee. but some of the cost is shifted
from employer to employee
3 create equity because the amount insured persons pay is related to their
use of health services
-what are the bad parts to using deductibles and coinsurance as cost saving
devices? - -1. may not reduce utilization of health services because
physicians not consumers make decisions
2 may discourage preventive care
3 may present a financial barrier to necessary care
-how does major medical insurance work? - -this plan was originally often
combined with first dollar prepaid service plans.
when the benefit allowances for hospital or medical services were exceeded
by a participant then the plan would start paying a second level of
reimbursement thru the major medical component
coinsurance and deductibles would apply
this policy was written as "all-except" coverage rather than as a named peril
