# Health Insurance

The health insurance data model provides objects for managing the ways care is paid for. It represents information about participants such as employment, insurance coverage, and dependents. You can manage details of the benefits provided by plans to members and treatment preauthorization requests made by members or providers.

The health insurance data model includes standard objects and record types. You need the Health Cloud Starter permission set to create, edit, and delete records in the data model.

To learn more about the standard objects used in this data model, refer [Standard Objects](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.264.0.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_list.htm).

    A purchaser group is a subset of the purchaser. For example, your company may have individual employee groups in different regions of the country. Each purchaser group can have separate options for insurance plans.
