§ 123215 Catastrophic Insurance Administrative Costs

• •If you buy special health insurance for big emergencies, part of what you pay goes to the government to help run the program.
• •The insurance company sends this extra money to the government, not the doctors or hospitals.
• •This rule has been around since 1996.

You buy insurance to cover huge medical bills if you get really sick.

A small part of what you pay every month goes to the government to help them manage this insurance program.
