In addition to listing out the top 8 most common exclusions, our infographic explains each point so readers can further understand why these elements are excluded. For example, cosmetic surgeries are excluded because they are deemed as elective treatment, which are not considered medically necessary.
Those shopping around for health insurance can use this infographic to better prepare themselves so that they are not caught off guard by coverage exclusions.
Add ons and medical necessities
Add ons
An important thing to realize when talking about exclusions is that certain types of coverage can be added at an extra premium. For example, dental and optical benefits can be added to your initial healthcare plan. Add ons will make your policy cost more, but in the long run, it can represent better value depending on your specific needs. For example, it might make sense for someone who works in front of a screen all day to get optical care added to their policy.
Medically necessary treatment
Elective surgeries are usually not covered by insurers, as they're not deemed medically necessary. However, there has been a call by officials, for example in Hong Kong, for insurers to make the term "medical necessity" clearer. This is because the term can be rather vague, and there have been cases in the past where patients have seen their hospital bills omitted by insurers because their treatment was deemed unnecessary.
