Today, there are several types of health insurance to choose from. Individual health insurance, group health, worker?s compensation, and government health plans such as Medicare and Medicaid are some of the different types of health insurance plans.

Individual health insurance plans can be obtained directly from insurance companies. The insurance company to whom you apply will ask you to provide personal information, including your medical history. Based on your health status, the company determines whether you qualify for an individual health insurance plan or not. Once you are qualified, a premium is charged based on your age, income, and medical history.
