Common questions about related non-insurance options
Is a medical discount plan health insurance?
No. Discount programs generally do not promise to pay covered medical claims as insurance does.
Is a healthcare sharing arrangement equivalent to insurance?
No. Sharing arrangements may not guarantee payment of eligible bills and can have different regulatory treatment.
