The deductible is similar, but with a fixed dollar amount. The insurer does not start paying until your bill exceeds the deductible amount.

2. Type of Insurance Policy:

Generally, insurance companies offer young and old people different plans than the rest of the family, as may happen in the case of a newborn or a person with an existing pathology. However, these criteria only apply if a new policy is to be purchased.
