Understanding your coverage
- Commercial or private health insurance is medical coverage provided by your employer or can include some plans purchased directly from health insurance exchange (HIX) or individual healthcare policies.
- Governmental insurance plans, such as Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs, or TRICARE, are state- and federally funded plans designed for those who are 65 years of age or older or those who have a disability or low income or members of the military.
- Uninsured patients may also have options for financial assistance.
