How To Choose A Health Insurance Policies   These
days, landing in the hospital for even a few days
can decimate your savings account. That's why
it's extremely important to consider the cost,
the benefits, and the extent to which your
family's health needs are met when choosing
health insurance. Research the various plans that
are available, and determine how specifically
tailored they are to your family's health needs
and financial abilities, to decide on a plan that
is best suited to your lifestyle.
3
Sign on with the health insurance provided by
your employer It is likely to be the cheapest
option you can find. Your employer's carrier may
have more than one option for you to choose from
(HMO, preferred). If you're self-employed or if
your company doesn't offer insurance, you'll have
to search for your own insurance.
4
Assess your needs, taking into account your
current use of health care and your medical
expenses for the near future, and decide what
services are most important to you and your
family. Ask about dependents' coverage. Factor in
how much you can afford to spend on monthly
premiums and co-payments. If you're single and
healthy, your Health insurance policies needs
will be very different from those of a family
with three young children.
5
Compare benefits and coverage of key items like
monthly premiums, deductibles, co-payments,
co-insurance rates, and costs for seeing
out-of-network providers, preventive care,
physical exams, immunizations and the like. Other
services that are of interest to your family
could include fertility services, mental health
coverage, nursing care and long-term care.
6
Ask lots of questions Are your current providers
part of this plan? Do you need referrals for
specialist visits? How easy is it to change
doctors? What hospitals and facilities can you
use as part of the plan? What are the procedures
for having emergency room treatment
approved? Find out if benefits are limited for
preexisting conditions, or if you have to wait
for a period of time before you're fully covered.
Some plans may completely exclude coverage of
preexisting conditions.
7
Research whether there is a fair appeals process
available if the company denies treatment, and if
these appeals are reviewed by an external,
independent agency. Is there a high turnover rate
among doctors in the plan? Check if the National
Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA.org)
accredits the plan the Pacific Business Group on
Health (HealthScope.org) also offers information
on Health insurance.
8
Pick a plan that best matches your needs and
priorities based on thorough research. Read all
materials and call the Health insurance policies
representative or conduct Internet research to
get any information you are missing. Discuss
pre-existing conditions and flex spending plans
before making a decision. Source
