(private) health insurance
"Convênio" is short for "convênio médico" which is the same as "plano de saúde". They're interchangeable.

Your own costs will be different depending on the care you receive, the prices your providers charge, and the reimbursement your health plan allows.

Discussion
But I reckon the speaker of your question is in an informal setting, so I would say the speaker is talking about the health insurance provided by their company. In everyday life people say convênio to refer to plano de saúde and the other way around.
If my proposed translation is subpar, I will happily take it down.
