ISO Video - U.S. Insurance Terms Simplified

Ed Zaleck | Sep 09, 2025 ISO Related


Understanding health insurance in the U.S. can feel overwhelming - especially with terms like deductible, copay, and coinsurance that new international students may not have ever heard before. To make things easier, we’ve created a video, “Simplifying Insurance Terms,” to give you a better overview for these terms in clear, simple language.

The video walks through what each term means, how they affect your out-of-pocket costs, and examples of when you might encounter them. Whether you’re enrolling in a plan for the first time or just want a refresher, this guide is designed to help you feel confident when using your health insurance in the U.S.
