Have you heard the story of the man that landed in a bankruptcy court, the victim of financial ruin. Simply due to an unforeseen illness and the lack of health insurance. He could have avoided this all along simply buy doing some research. The State of California has numerous plans to meet the needs of all residents to help them avoid that very situation. There are no regulations in regards to the applicant review process. But, there is HIPPA plans for those that private insurance companies find unfit for coverage otherwise. This allows almost all residents of California some sort of eligibility. Insurers do have to offer HIPPA guaranteed plans, but the are free to choose what plans. They can choose nay basic plan as long as they have 2 choices. HIPPA also lets the insurer set forth a pre existing period of 6-12 months depend on the number of participants on a plan. There are many regulations put on insurers. One area they have complete control over is premium. They can base it on what ever factors they see fit. The customary factors are age and health condition however. So if you are a health risk or older in age you should be prepared to pay a little more in premium then the average. Your location also tends to have a factor. They review health cost in areas. Your coverage is protected once you have secured coverage. Regulations says the insurer must give you the opportunity to renew your policy each year regardless of you changing status. But the regulations also protects the insurer by allowing them to increase your premium accordingly There are many plan options available to the consumer. Earlier we discussed the HIPPA plans but there are the HMO plans, the very popular PPOs and the financial savvy HSAs. So now that you know you are eligible for coverage it is time to look into these plans a bit. The 3 most popular plans are pretty easy to differentiate. The HMO plan has affordable benefits but is restrictive in the way of care. Your primary Physicians oversees all of this . With a PPO you have freedom to choose your physicians . The HSA is a benefit rich plan that saves in premium by allowing you to pay out of pocket up front with the financial reward later. So I challenge you today to take a sit set a budget and seek out the health insurance that meets your needs. You owe it to yourself and your financial future. It is simply to risky to go without health insurance. It can cost you your happiness and your health.
