Health Insurance

Health insurance is vital to have. Any health care treatment, service, test, item, procedure, what have you, can send your budget topsy turvy. Health insurance, even though it may seem expensive, can protect you from these expensive health care costs.

With health insurance, you can show your card to the health care provider and they instantly know your payment details, whether or not you are in the network, and if you owe a copayment for the service. Health insurance plans usually have networks of health care providers that the insurance company has contracted with to bring you lower costs. Receiving care from providers within your plan’s network will be the most cost effective way to receive health care.

What’s more, having health insurance may give you access to treatment you otherwise would not have been able to receive. Unless it’s an emergency, health care providers are under no obligation to treat you if you don’t have a way to pay them for their services. Your health insurance card may be the ticket to receiving the care you need.

Health Insurance Costs

In return for lowering your health care bills, you will need to pay monthly premiums for your health insurance, as well as copayments and a deductible. Deductibles for health insurance plans are usually yearly, and your copayments for covered services will go toward that deductible. Once you reach your deductible, your plan will pay its share for covered services.

Health insurance plans have an out-of-pocket maximum, limiting the amount you will have to pay if you end up spending thousands of dollars on your health care. After you reach that set amount, your health insurance company will take care of the expenses for covered health care services for the rest of the year.

In the United States, the Health Insurance Marketplace, located at HealthCare.gov, is the place to go to find health insurance. Using the Health Insurance Marketplace, you can apply to see if you are eligible for savings

When you sign up for health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace, you pay your premiums directly to the insurance company. Your coverage begins once you have paid your first health insurance monthly premium.
