Description

Insurance benefits refer to the financial coverage provided by an insurance policy for medical services and treatments. These benefits can include hospital stays, doctor visits, surgeries, and medications, depending on the specific policy terms.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to insurance benefits using various terms, including 'cobertura de seguro' or 'prestaciones de seguro', which are colloquial. It is important to maintain a formal register and use 'Beneficios del Seguro' in clinical contexts to ensure clarity and professionalism.

Example Sentences

ES: Se informó al paciente sobre los beneficios del seguro durante la consulta.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'benefits' with 'prestaciones' in non-medical contexts; misinterpretation of coverage limits; mixing up insurance terms with financial terms.
