What Is Bridge Health Insurance? 
Unless you are an engineer talking about a physical bridge -LRB- excuse the poor attempt at humor -RRB- I suspect you are asking about what is commonly referred to as gap insurance in our industry . As the deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums on many individual and group health insurance plans have grown increasingly larger over the years this had led to much greater financial exposure to policy holders . Even under ObamaCare you can have a plan with a deductible in excess of $ 6000 before your coverage kicks in . Gap policies are supplemental insurance policies designed to pay a portion of or all of this increased financial exposure . They come in a variety of forms so the consumer needs to examine these policies closely to make sure they purchase a Gap plan that best fits with their major medical plan 's benefit features .
