Three Key Points When It Comes to Health Insurance Policies

Not all health insurance policies are created equal. Whether you’re enjoying coverage through an employer, are paying for it out of pocket, or are between policies, it would behoove you to take a moment to learn about the three key points concerning health insurance. Avoiding costly premiums or costlier gaps in coverage can significantly impact your long term benefits – to that end, these points may be worthwhile. 

Carefully read your policy. We know it may seem like a chore to read the insurance double-speak, but you need to know exactly what your policy covers – and what it doesn’t. Do you know if your policy is valid if you cross the state line? What about when you vacation overseas?

Are your prescriptions covered? A glaring hole in a number of Individual Health Insurance policies is prescription drug coverage. Are you taking any specific prescription drugs? Does your new policy cover those drugs? If not, you will be paying out of pocket for them.

Are you suffering from a preexisting condition? Will your new policy cover a preexisting condition? While the Health Care Reform Act will make it illegal to deny coverage based on a preexisting condition, the legislation is not slated to be enacted until 2014. Furthermore, some health insurance policies may include loopholes allowing insurers to deny your claims should they deem your condition is a preexisting one.
