How well do you understand the difference between deductibles, co-payments, and out-of-pocket maximums?

I'm not sure what these terms mean or how they affect my costs. I have a basic understanding, but I'm not confident calculating my total costs. I understand these terms and can estimate my annual costs under different scenarios. I fully understand these concepts and have already calculated my potential costs for multiple plans.

Have you assessed your actual healthcare needs based on your health status, medications, and family history?

No, I haven't thought about this yet—I'm just looking for the cheapest option. I've thought about it casually, but haven't done a formal assessment. I've reviewed my health status and medications, but haven't fully considered family history. I've thoroughly assessed my health status, medications, and family history to identify my coverage needs.

When evaluating insurance providers, what factors do you prioritize?

Mainly the monthly premium—I want the lowest price available. Premium and basic coverage types, but I haven't researched the company's reputation. Premium, coverage, and I've checked some reviews about their claims process. I evaluate premium, coverage, claims process, customer service reputation, and financial stability.

How many of the 7 critical questions (exclusions, prescriptions, claims process, waiting periods, out-of-province coverage, appeals, customization) have you asked your potential insurers?

None—I haven't asked any specific questions yet. 1-2 questions, mostly about coverage and price. 3-5 questions, covering most major areas of concern. All 7 questions—I have a complete understanding of each plan's terms and conditions.
