Health insurance is a type of insurance that covers the cost of medical expenses incurred due to illnesses, injuries, or health conditions. With a health insurance plan, the insurer provides coverage for a variety of healthcare services, including hospitalization, doctor consultations, medications, diagnostic tests, and surgical procedures.
