Picking a new plan
Does Age Matter?
Risk Factors
The older you are, the costlier it gets to purchase health insurance.
Solution
Irrespective of your age, you are safer with a health insurance plan than without it. Availing a health insurance plan early in life is also wiser as the premium is lower.
Pregnancy Coverage
Risk Factors
Does your current health insurance plan cover pregnant women? If not, then you may be subject to a premium surcharge.
Solution
Insurers offer pregnancy and maternity coverage subject to certain constraints. While some cover a restricted number of pregnancies, others have a waiting period before covering such claims.
Lower Premiums
Risk Factors
The least expensive monthly premium is often seen as a bad sign. A lot of people think that because their monthly premium is low, it means they have found the one.
Solution
Lower premiums don’t necessarily equate to overall lower out-of-pocket costs for health insurance. Depending on your family’s and your needs, paying a higher premium that covers services upfront may be more beneficial.
Mental Healthcare Coverage
Risk Factors
Mental health is an essential part of physical wellness. However, many people are either unaware or neglectful about the necessity for medical treatment in this area.
Solution
Health insurance plans may cover every aspect of your physical health – but there’s always some coverage for your mental well-being, with behavioral health benefits associated with your health plan.
Picking a new plan
Risk Factors
Picking a different plan may be challenging if your coverage needs and circumstances have changed since the previous year. Examples of such circumstances include getting married, having children or making more money.
Solution
While sticking with your same plan may seem like a good idea, it can end up costing you more later on. You and your dependents' health care needs may shift from year to year. This is why it's a good idea to research plans and select what works best for your new needs.
