3 terms

telehealth medical

"reach an Ambetter-designated licensed provider by telehealth"

Telehealth is the delivery of healthcare services and consultations remotely using video calls, phone, text messaging, or connected devices to monitor and transmit medical information. It matters to investors because it can reshape how patients access care, lower costs, and create new revenue streams or risks for healthcare providers, insurers and technology companies—similar to how online banking changed financial services—while also exposing businesses to reimbursement and regulatory shifts.

copays financial

"applied to copays, deductibles, and other health related expenses"

A copay (or copayment) is a fixed, set-dollar amount that an insured person pays at the time they receive a specific health-care service or prescription—for example $20 for a doctor visit or $10 for a drug—while the health plan covers the remainder. Copays are a form of cost-sharing distinct from premiums, deductibles and coinsurance: they are typically charged per visit or pharmacy fill and can vary by type of service; whether copays count toward a plan's deductible or out-of-pocket maximum depends on the specific insurance contract and applicable regulations.

deductibles financial

"applied to copays, deductibles, and other health related expenses"

Deductibles are the amount of money you pay out of pocket for expenses before your insurance or coverage begins to pay. For example, if you have a deductible of $500, you cover the first $500 of costs yourself, and then the insurance helps with the remaining expenses. Understanding deductibles helps investors gauge the potential costs and risks associated with insurance plans or financial protections.
