Hidden Information in Health Insurance Policies

April 5, 2010 – 10:22 pm
You’re right, no one in their right mind “really” want to read their health insurance policy because it’s boring and full of jargon. But, consider this, if you don’t read it, how will you know what is and is not covered? Well, you won’t, and that won’t be a good thing for you now will it? In other words you won't find until later when you're in a situation where you thought you had coverage – and don’t. That could cost you some serious money and if you don’t want to pay out extra, unexpected expenses during this recession, then pay attention to what you are buying when it comes to health insurance.

Online Health Insurance Plans Sounds Great, but You Can’t Get Them

March 21, 2010 – 9:34 pm
You found a great health insurance plan online and that is the one you want. You’ve decided it sounds just like what you need and it’s a good price. You call the health insurance agent and find out that you can’t get that plan despite the fact that it’s on their website. What the heck is up with that? The fact is that you likely don’t qualify for “that” plan because you have pre-existing conditions and the plan you read about is for someone who is a lot younger and in prime physical health. Real reality and virtual reality are two different things. The fact is your circumstances may not match the "ideal" qualifications of that plan on the site. Always call a health insurance broker for free advice and talk about what would suit you. It's time well spent. To ...

Everything Online Is Not Gospel When It Comes to Health Insurance

March 19, 2010 – 9:34 pm
Take everything you read online on a health insurance website with a grain of salt. Oh, not because it may be wrong, but because it might not apply to you. It might not apply to you because more of the quotes cited online refer to a preferred rate; to someone who is in optimal health and usually younger. This is one of the major reasons you need to speak directly to the health insurance broker to find out what you need to know about how the rates apply to “you.” Sure, ask about the rates you saw on the website. The bottom line is that companies can only put just so much information on their site. There’s just way too much of it for anyone to be able to read and absorb, particularly if they are not health insurance savvy. Many ...

Health Savings Accounts and the Over 55 Crowd

March 16, 2010 – 9:33 pm
Yes, you can get an HSA if you are over 55. The only thing you will need to know right up front is that if you do choose to go this route, you will need to catch up payments in order to be in a beneficial position. If you’re older, you might be able to swing that, as many older Americans do tend to have assets by that age. Although with the recession, this isn’t as frequent as it used to be. You don’t have to go with an HSA if you don’t feel it’s the right thing for you. You could go with Major Medical instead or even with a Co-pay plan. Your life is unique and you will want what works the best for you, so make it a point to talk to an expert health insurance broker who can ...

Tax-Free Benefits with HSAs

March 13, 2010 – 9:32 pm
Imagine that – tax free benefits come with HSAs. Yes, we said tax FREE. Something free these days is rare. Mind you if you aren’t ready or willing to only open an account and make deposits, it won’t work for you. What are the tax free benefits? Well for one thing, the person(s) opening the account can put money in it and they don't need itemized deductions; an employer can make tax-free contributions to employees; and employers that have cafeteria plans may let workers contribute untaxed salary by paying a lower salary. However, just because there are some significant tax free benefits with HSAs doesn’t meant you should just rush right out and get one. Take the time to check them out first before you decide if you want one. No sense getting one if it won’t do you any good. To ...
