Private Health Insurance Plans
Forty-seven thousand District residents purchased their health insurance plans directly through the private market in 2008, according to the US Census Bureau. Private health insurance plans can be purchased directly from a health insurance company or a health maintenance organization (HMO). When opting to get a private health insurance plan, you should compare the benefits and costs included in each plan to determine the best one for you.
Here in the District of Columbia, private health insurance plans include major medical, indemnity or fee-for service, and managed care (i.e. HMO, point of service and preferred provider organization.)
