Q: Do you know an individual policy that comes under the heading of group health plan?
A: There is a clear distinction between individual health insurance and group health insurance. The laws, coverage, pricing and operations are entirely different and there are advantages and disadvantages to each type. The details vary slightly from state to state and a few states allow one person businesses to enroll in group health plans. Generally the group insurance is more expensive than individual insurance, but has easier medical qualification requirements. The best way to approach this distinction is to first access your medical history before deciding whether group or individual insurance is best.
