The Basics

What are catastrophic health insurance plans?
Catastrophic health plans are plans that cover the insured against large major medical expenses.

What kind of coverage is it?
Most quality health insurance programs provide catastrophic coverage.  Your plan may or may not cover office visits and prescriptions before the deductible, but most plans will cover major medical and catastrophic expenses up to between $1,000,000 and $25,000,000 over a person's lifetime.


Advantages & Disadvantages

The Price Advantage
The biggest advantage is that the monthly cost for these plans is  drastically lower than the "bells and whistles" plans that most of us enjoy. 

Valuable Tax Benefits
Another advantage is, that by buying a qualified high deductible health plan, you can use money from a health savings accountc to pay for your medical expenses pre-tax.

One Big Benefit Advantage
Even though you may be giving up your bell's and whistles, many catastrophic health insurance plans offer 100% coverage after the deductible.  This means no more sharing costs at 80%/20% or 70%/30%.  With many of these plans, it's clear what your stop loss is for the year. 

A Disadvantage
The main disadvantage is that the normal everyday expenses, like office visits and prescriptions, are typically covered after you meet the deductible, not before.  If you utilize your plan on a regular basis, this may not be the right type of plan for you.  Some plans do, however, cover preventive care before you meet the deductible, which is a valuable benefit to have.
