Questions when seeking care

In its simplest definition, Health insurance is a means to mitigate the financial risk that arises from unforeseen expenses for healthcare (or a health risk). Typically, health insurance is offered as an annual subscription where by the subscriber or the sponsor of the subscriber makes monthly payments (premiums) to the insurer to cover the financial risk arising from a health risk.

The search for health care is unique to each individual and is frequently influenced by the current health status and socio-economic situation. The search may be initiated by the individual themselves or a family member or an unrelated non-professional care giver. The nature and intensity of the inquiry varies by stage of the diagnosis.
