NVInsurance101.com is an educational website created to help Nevadans understand the basics of health insurance.

The Division said the site can help save money and avoid unexpected charges by learning when and where to purchase insurance. Also included is information on the understanding the difference between health plans, such as PPOs and HMOs, as well as how to use insurance, how deductibles, copays and co-insurance work and how they affect the cost of care.
