Health Insurance and Inpatient vs. Outpatient Care
|
|
|
|
Under the Affordable Care Act, inpatient and outpatient care fall under essential health benefits or EHBs. Health insurance companies help cover costs for EHBs, meaning that you’ll only pay a fraction of the costs. This is also known as your copayment or coinsurance.
If you need an ambulance, these costs will also be a factor in your total outpatient visit. If your ride is medically necessary, your health insurer will likely cover this expense. You can look at your insurance policy to learn more about ambulance coverage.
Copayments for inpatient care will depend on the duration of your stay. Outpatient services often cost less than inpatient care because individuals don’t need close supervision from a medical team. The overall out-of-pocket expense for your care will be a portion of what if costs to treat you.
