Everyone should know about his health needs and should opt for a plan accordingly. It is must for every individual to know about the right type of health insurance plan for you. To reach to a conclusion, the following parameters should be compared:-
Premium
Benefits/Coverage
Out-of-Pocket costs (Deductibles, Co-payment)
Access to doctors, hospitals and other medical providers
Access to emergency care
Exclusions and limitations
If you get the plan from your employer side, you need to check the following points:-
What kind of services are covered by the Plan?
How are the benefits paid?
Do you need to submit the claims?
When do you need approval beforehand to make sure that you get coverage for care?
What steps do you require to take to get the care you and your family require?
In addition to it, you shall learn various ways to take advantage of the benefits, so that you can avail them at right time.
Above all, you need to decide whether you require an indemnity plan or a managed care plan. The basic difference between the both is the coverage of hospitals. Indemnity plans provide non-network hospitals coverage. Managed care plans provide network hospital coverage.
