Premium: the cost of keeping coverage
A premium is the amount you pay for health insurance, typically every month. Paying the premium does not mean all services are free.
What to remember
- Budget for premiums alongside expected care costs.
- Check whether your share changes with subsidies or employer contributions.
- Use the actual plan document for exact amounts.
