In-network / out-of-network

In-network providers contract with your health insurance company plan to negotiate set payment amounts. This means your copayments for in-network providers are typically lower than to out-of-network providers.

Individual coverage

Individual coverage refers to healthcare coverage that is not tied to employer-based coverage, whether purchased for an individual or a family. This can refer to coverage purchased through Healthcare.gov or an individual state marketplace.
