ISO Customer Care | Jun 12, 2024 Insurance
Health care costs in the United States are not to be underestimated – services for even the simplest of reasons can result in medical bills from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Without a national plan in place, Americans rely on private health insurance to reduce their overall medical payments.
Despite this, many international visitors without prior experience in the United States may have the idea that health care coverage works the same or similarly to their home country. Misaligned expectations can put people at risk of incurring large bills, so becoming familiar with health insurance policies is a necessity to make better informed decisions, which the guide below can assist with.
