KNOW THE COVERAGE YOU QUALIFY FOR<br />

Health insurance policies have a long list of different coverage options, requiring<br />

you to do some homework and be very detailed and organized in your approach<br />

to selecting a policy. When you get started, be sure to have all of the documents<br />

that you will need ready to go. Also be sure to know what you want and need from<br />

your health insurance, be ready to talk about it, and spend some time researching<br />

which ones look good to you so that you are happy with your insurance policy.<br />

Make sure that your health insurance plan covers pregnancy expenses before you get<br />

pregnant, and if yours doesn’t then you’ll need to find one that does. This is critical because<br />

a number of medical coverage policies do not extend to certain elements involved with<br />

pregnancy and/or labor issues.<br />

THE CATASTROPHIC HEALTH<br />

INSURANCE OPTION<br />

Catastrophic health insurance coverage<br />

is an option for individuals that cannot<br />

afford a standard health insurance policy.<br />

Catastrophic coverage will protect you<br />

in case you experience a severe, lifethreatening<br />

illness or an unexpected<br />

accident of injury. It makes a great addition<br />

to your overall health insurance portfolio.<br />

If you are thinking about catastrophic<br />

health insurance, you need to do some<br />

serious research. Be sure that this<br />

type of insurance will cover your needs<br />

regarding catastrophic events. After you<br />

purchase the policy, set up a specified<br />

savings account. Make regular deposits<br />

into this account so that you will be able<br />

to afford your deductibles if anything<br />

catastrophic occurs.<br />

TALKING WITH YOUR<br />

HEALTH PROVIDER<br />

You’ll have to find a health insurance policy<br />

which lets you choose your own doctor if<br />

you want to keep your current health care<br />

provider. You should ask your doctor which<br />

health insurance plans are accepted and<br />

use one of those. Ask your health provider<br />

if they are giving the necessary mandated<br />

records to the Medical Information<br />

Bureau. You are entitled to an annual copy<br />

of the records at no charge every year.<br />

With more knowledge about health<br />

insurance, you will find it becomes easier<br />

to make the right decision concerning<br />

insurance options for yourself and your<br />

family. Now more than ever, it’s important<br />

to have adequate and affordable health<br />

coverage. Health insurance is among the<br />

most crucial decisions you’ll ever make.<br />
