Third-Party Payer: Any payer for health care services other than you. This can be an insurance company, an HMO, a PPO, or the Federal Government.
Benefit limitations placed on certain of the various coverages in a major medical policy are considered inside or internal limits. In other words, the policy may limit both room and board and number of days that will be paid. In this case, the period for hospital room and board will be whatever number of days that are specified. Other internal limits might be restrictions for convalescent are days, mental health, x-rays and similar items.
Depending on what your condition is and when it was diagnosed and treated, you can probably buy health coverage. However, the insurer may do one of three things: Provide full protection but with a higher premium, as might be the case with a chronic disease, such as diabetes; modify the benefits to increase the deductible; exclude the specific medical problem from coverage, if it is a clearly defined condition, as long as the insurer abides by state and federal laws on exclusions.
