Glossary of common health care terms

The Affordable Care Act requires employers to provide their group health plan participants with access to both a summary of benefits and coverage that details the features of their health plan and a glossary of commonly used health care terms (such as balance billing, preauthorization and non-preferred provider).

That glossary, which also offers an explainer of how deductibles, co-insurance and out-of-pocket limits work, is available here.
