What You Need to Know About Health Insurance

 

For the average person, health insurance processes and paperwork can be confusing because there are several clauses, rules, limitations, and exceptions.  Hence, you need to know what the basics are to understand how health insurance works to get what you want in a health insurance plan. 

 

A health insurance is a contract between you and the insurer.  You agree to buy the premium, which is payable monthly, quarterly, or annually.  The Texas health insurance company is bound to pay for the health and medical services that are covered in the health plan you purchase.  However, be alert to the fact that it takes awhile before the insurance company pays your medical expenses.    

 

As a policyholder, you will come across the following health insurance jargon:

·         Premium – the monthly payment for the plan

·         Deductible – the money you shell out before the company starts paying your health care or medical expenses.

·         Co-payment – the payment you give from your own pocket to visits to the doctor and doctor’s prescriptions.

·         Coinsurance – in this case, the patient pays 20 percent of the surgery expenses and the insurance company will shoulder 80%.

·         Coverage limits – Some areas not fully covered and the company can only pay up to a certain limit.

·         Out of pocket maximum – the maximum placed on the number of out-of-pocket payments before the company starts paying medical expenses

·         Capitation – the amount paid to a health provider who agrees to service the insured and his group or family members.

·         In-network provider – the selected health care providers of the insurer. This is cheaper than seeking health and medical service providers outside of the insurer’s network.

 

In some cases, health providers send the bill to Texas health insurance companies, provided you commit to pay for the services not covered by the insurance.  Generally, with a health insurance, you pay less compared to the astronomical medical bills you shoulder alone without health insurance.   

 

Don’t wait until something happens to you or your loved ones.  Get online insurance quotes from Texas health insurance companies ready to give the health insurance package you need and can afford. Be a step ahead now towards your future.

 

Here this nice Video about health insurance

AIG’s balance sheet for the final three months of last year showed a loss of $62 billion for the US insurance giant. That figure is despite the corporation already receiving a total of $150 billion in taxpayer money. Now it has been given access to another $30 billion with government officials admitting it may not be the last time the government has to step in. John Terrett reports.

  1. In the US the uninsured have on hope only death or financial disaster.
    Only thing evil men need to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

    Thank you Gen. Sentiments like that mean more then you could possibly know.

  3. rizzo1000 says:

    I am nearing the end of what has been a very successful treatment. What was left of the lump was removed from my body and I’m undergoing radiation right now.

    HEALTH CARE
    I would legalize marijuana. Impose a 50% tax on the retail sale. Use the proceeds from the tax to supplement private insurance premiums for health insurance.

  5. generovox says:

    While no one wants to see people suffer (I Don’t) I don’t believe national health care will help people who need a high level of care. The high cost to professionals/health agencies, will more than likely force out the “good” doctors and only leave people (doctors) who will be forced to run people through and process them by the numbers… the quality will not go up- it will go down. I wish we could point at one thing the government has gotten involved with and show that it improved.

    kim, i’m 36 and i found a lumb in my breast quite a while ago! i need surgery, but am too scared to get it done, although i do have an health insurance, which pays for it as i live in germany!
    seeing you video made me think again and i’ll be making an appointment tomorrow!
    i wish you all the best and pray for you!

  7. tersse says:

    1 America needs to introduce a death tax, when you die all your assets over 200k dollars goes to the government.

    2 evry one in work pays 3 percent of the tax the have deducted into a national health program.

    3 the government passes a free medical care at point of need, (when you walk into a doctors office or a hospital and need care) that evry citazen that can prove they are an american citizen has access to.

  8. rizzo1000 says:

    Thank you, I’m doing much better. Of course there are still millions of people without any kind of health insurance. Please help fight for coverage for them!

  9. rizzo1000 says:

    I don’t know the state of healthcare in Germany, but I highly recommend seeing several doctors to get options. My first 2 doctors wanted to do a double mastectomy on me. The third did chemo first and I ended up having to have a very small lump removed. He saved my breasts.
    I wish you all the best too and remember, ignoring the lump does not make it go away.

  10. TJae1 says:

    Do these lumps continue to grow.

  11. hi and hope your having a good day today

  14. flyboy4692 says:

    Kim I haven’t read through the comments so I’m not sure how you’re doing with your cancer but I want you to do something. Look up United Chiropractic and see what they can do for you. You’d be amazed what a Chiropractor can do to prevent concer from coming back and to bolster your immune system. People are starting to wake up to whats wrong with our health care system. If it helps my credebility at all I was born and raised on Long Island. Wishing you the best!

  15. rizzo1000 says:

    Can I have some of what you’re smoking?

  16. :( i hope u get better im from longisland too, port jeff

  17. clasione says:

    a good and often unanswered question… Good luck to you…

  18. rizzo1000 says:

    Mine don’t, they’re gone. In general yes. They grow from one cell, grow to a lump and eventually spread throughout your entire body until it kills you if not treated.

  19. Eat and drinks fruits and veg and that will prevent ALL cancers.

  20. GenCollado says:

    I’m very sorry for what you are going through. I’ll have you and all other cancer patients in my prayers and hope that the next president will give health insurance and make it more affordable.

  21. TJae1 says:

    K, Do they (lumps) continue to grow.

  22. rizzo1000 says:

    How about health insurance for seniors?
    BTW, nobody (unfortunately) is suggesting national health care. What they are promoting is national health insurance, that is not the same thing.

  23. TJae1 says:

    wow…. already?…
