1. Stressed Out By Health Insurance? Look No Further!
Health insurance is a must-have in the event you have a serious medical emergency. You
never know when disaster will strike in the form of illness, accident or injury. If you aren't
prepared with a good health insurance plan, you could stand to lose everything. If you have a
good health plan in place, you can rest easy that your expenses will be taken care of. You
have a couple of choices when it comes to purchasing health insurance. You can go with an
individual plan, or if your employer offers group insurance, you can save money by choosing
that plan.
A good money saving tip for health insurance is to ask your company if they offer an
employee wellness plan. Employers will often offer incentives and bonuses to employees
who undergo a health assessment. You could then register for exercise programs in order to
assist your company in saving money on insurance coverage, which can decrease your
premiums.
When open enrollment comes around, take the time to evaluate your health insurance needs.
Life changes quickly and today's coverage may not meet your needs due to adding someone
to your family. Wait until open enrollment time to make these changes, as well as changes to
your vision or dental coverage.
Look at your prescription coverage every year. Health insurance carriers can change the
types of medications they cover, so be sure not to enroll in a plan that won't cover your
prescriptions. If you suddenly find that your health insurance plan is not covering your
ongoing medications any longer, then start your search for a new plan.
It is usually cheaper to obtain insurance through group policies, such as those provided by
employers, than obtaining an individual policy. You may need to sacrifice some aspects of
your policy to help keep the cost affordable, such as a higher deductible or less coverage.
Shop around to get the best coverage and rates.
Review your insurance plan annually to see which prescriptions are covered. This list
changes from year to year so check the list when you re-enroll, to make sure that you are not
going to be surprised when you go to refill your prescription.
Expect that there will be loopholes in any health insurance policy. Thoroughly read your
policy, so you wont be surprised when they tell you that your insurance doesn't cover
something. Be prepared to pay for some things that will not be covered, such as some
medications or procedures.
Do not ever openly volunteer unsolicited information when your potential medical insurance
provider calls in regards to your application. Be sure that you are only answering the
questions that they ask. Giving extra information gives them more reasons to raise your rates

research and decide on before purchasing. You should have the choice to keep your current
doctor.
