The Health Insurance Primer

I am the general reviewer and editor as well as an author for this text. This book represents the collective efforts of many insurance industry experts as well as staff of the Health Insurance Association of America (HIAA). Our objectives at the outset of this project focused on making this book "reader-friendly." Chapters are short, terminology is well defined, and topics are very organized and logically placed. We realize health insurance is a complex subject. We attempted to put our familiarity with the subject matter aside and place ourselves in the role of the consumer. The text is written to appeal to those with minimal to moderate knowledge of health insurance matters.This book is appropriate for a wide group of readers. We envisioned audiences well beyond the insurance industry to include students, medical providers and their staffs, attorneys and paralegals, those employed in state and federal government, and even the casual reader who seeks to increase their knowledge of such an important subject. For those wishing to take the exam associated with this book and sponsored by HIAA, an outstanding study guide was designed. The guide will greatly assist the student preparing for the exam. It is comprehensive and covers the majority of testable concepts in the book. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to broaden their knowledge of the health insurance field. Reader feedback is welcomed and will be considered in future revisions.
