Service Area
The geographic region where your health insurance plan provides coverage.
Detailed Explanation
Some health insurance plans, especially HMOs, have a limited service area, and you may not be covered for routine care outside of this area.
Practical Example
Lisa's HMO plan has a service area that includes the three counties surrounding her city. If she needs routine medical care while traveling outside of this area, it might not be covered.
