This course will be 1 in a series of 3 to help those understand health insurance in the US. 101 goes over the history, general working concepts and terminology used in health insurance. It is designed for the consumer, those who want to enter the industry and those who work in healthcare but want a better understanding. This course is taught by a Health and Life insurance agent licensed in 6 states and formerly licensed in all 50. It will provide a high level overview for the basic concepts in 101 and as students progress into 202 and 303 (separate classes), they should have a good working knowledge of the field.

The course is broken down into 3 main parts with a quiz at the end.

It starts with the history of the insurance industry as a whole as well as moving to health insurance and how it relates today. It will then move into the general workings of the industry and how a plan works. Terminology will be interspersed through both sections with the ending part explaining the terms more in detail and tying them into the first 2 sections.

Students will be able to see quiz results in real time and if needed are able to go back into parts of the course to review concepts.
