Now the health insurance of millions of us is the Affordable
Care Act or some people call it Obama Care. But like so many things in life,
your health insurance can often be complicated. Whether you have been insured
for years or are new to the sport, understanding your policy is important to
your health ... and your wallet. First of all, you have to pay your initial
month or your insurance may be canceled - just like your cable subscription.
You can think of it like a shared healthcare bank - we all get quiet every
month, even if we're healthy, so money is what we need. If you get work
insurance, your employer will probably pay most of your premiums and the rest
will automatically be deducted from your salary.
If you have Medicaid, you probably
won't be denied any premium - the federal government and your state will take
care of it. If your income is ensured through a new health insurance market,
you may be eligible for a tax credit that pays a portion of your premium. Once
you get this shiny new insurance card you will want to try really hard to keep
it in your wallet! To improve your chances of staying healthy, take advantage
of insurance-free prevention services that provide all new insurance plans. But
of course ... stuff happens. And when insurance really comes in handy. Now,
having insurance helps a lot, but that doesn't mean your healthcare will be
free. There are many details about your insurance plan that affect how much you
pay when you get sick or injured. If you have Medicaid, many of these services
may be free.
Otherwise, you will have to pay for something when you go to the
doctor or fill out the prescription. When it's a specific duplicate amount,
it's called a copy - like ہر 25 per visit ... or scoring if it's a percentage
of the bill. Also deductible - how much money comes out of your pocket before
your insurance payments begin. Depending on your plan, the deduction for all
your care may be deductible, or it may only apply to certain types of care,
such as hospital stays and prescriptions. So read the contents of your project,
because it can cost thousands of dollars! Another important part of your plan
is to have as much pocket money as possible. You have to pay the highest amount
in any one year. At least for the benefits that are included in your plan. Your
insurer will pay 100% of the maximum for the rest of the year. This can be as
annoying as dealing with prescriptions! Your plan has a list of drugs that she
will pay for, called formulas, but prices vary. Consult your doctor or pharmacist,
as a common medicine can cure you like a brand name medicine, but it will cost
a lot more. Therefore, the same costs are usually included but remember that
they will be affected by your insurance plan provider network.
This is a list
of doctors and hospitals associated with your project. Insurance companies
negotiate discounts with these providers. Stay in the network, and the discount
will be accepted. Get out of the network, and you'll be able to pay the full
price. And remember the out-of-pocket limit? It won't work if you go out of
network! In some plans - such as HMOs or EPOs - your insurance will not pay
anything if you go off the network. In other plans - such as PPOs - your
insurance finds you wherever you go, but you can pay a lot more if you go out
of network. Also, if you want to see a specialist - such as an orthopedist -
some plans require a consultation with your primary care physician. Easy
enough? Well, sometimes the stay - the trap can be difficult! In a hospital, it
is possible that your surgeon is in the network, while your anesthesiologist is
not. Don't be afraid to talk to your provider. Appeal to your insurers. So as
you can see, there is a lot to think about when choosing an insurance plan each
year.
Some plans may have lower premiums but may have fewer doctors or
hospitals and more deductions. There is trade, and understanding and choice
between projects is not always easy. Remember, call and ask the health plan if
you have questions, or consult your hospital or doctor. If you still have
questions, your state insurance or consumer support program can help. With the
Affordable Care Act, there is news support for consumers, so take advantage of
it! Getting health insurance coverage is a good thing, especially when you know
how it works. We hope you are well prepared for the next time you take these
health insurance cards out of your wallet. Be safe, America!
