What are Individual Benefits?
Individual benefits are insurance policies that can be purchased either through an insurance provider or a government marketplace. Unlike employee benefits, which are provided by employers, individual benefits are owned by the individual and can be customized to meet specific needs. These benefits can include a variety of coverages such as Life, Medical, Vision, Accident, Critical Illness, and Short Term coverage.
PPO (Preferred Provider Organization)

- Key Features:

- Higher premiums and deductibles than other plans.
- Ideal for those who want more flexibility in choosing healthcare providers.
