Health insurance is focused on providing a pre-payment plan and delivering services or cash compensation for necessary medical care during times of illness or disability. This is governed by a legal document issued by the insurance company, which specifies the terms and conditions of the coverage, varying from one country to another based on its system and levels of economic, scientific, and health development. In some countries, governments collaborate with health insurance companies to manage health insurance operations, monitor cases, assess conditions, and hold hospitals, pharmacies, and other healthcare facilities accountable. Health insurance has improved access to timely medical care in hospitals and has enhanced the ability to provide services and support across various health institutions.

The British Academy for Training and Development recognizes the importance of health insurance in facilitating healthcare access.
