Generally speaking, health insurance is a sort of insurance that assists in covering the costs of a person’s medical and surgical bills.

According to the insurance industry, insurers use the word “provider” to refer to a clinic, hospital, doctor, laboratory, healthcare practitioner, or pharmacy that offers treatment for a patient’s illness.

The “insured” is the individual who is the beneficiary of a health insurance policy or the person who is covered by health insurance coverage in general.
