Quotes - Are You Covered?
How To Shop
-
What are my health care needs?
The answer will depend on
whether you have children, are frequently ill yourself, require many
prescription drugs or have a preexisting condition. Make a list of the
benefits you are most likely to need, then be sure the policy you are
considering provides these coverages.
-
Is preventive care important to me? If you want coverage for
yearly health exams, mammograms, immunizations or well-baby care, you may
want to consider an HMO or PPO or POS plan.
-
Do I frequently need to see specialists?
You may find access to
specialists easier through traditional fee-for-service plans, particularly
if you want to choose the specialist you see.
-
Do I mind filling out claim forms? Many traditional plans
involve some paperwork. If you don't want to fill out claim forms or think
you will forget, you may be better off with a managed care plan.
-
How much can I afford to spend? The amount of coverage you
purchase may be limited by how much you can afford to spend.
-
Is the policy guaranteed renewable? If it is, the insurance
company cannot cancel your policy as long as you keep paying premiums.
-
Will the insurance company be able to pay my claims? Be sure
the insurer is financially stable. Independent groups such as Duff &
Phelps, Moody's, Standard & Poor's, A.M. Best and Weiss publish the
financial ratings of insurance companies. Their reports can be found in
the reference sections of most public libraries.
-
Does the insurance company have a good reputation for customer
service, and does it pay claims promptly? Talk with several people who
are already insured with that company, then check with your state
insurance department.
