subject: Weigh All Options Before Choosing Insurance Plan [print this page] There are so many different options when it comes to choosing the health care policy that is best for you, that it is vital to make sure you do your homework so that you can be prepared to answer or ask any questions when it comes time to make the choice that is best for you and your family. Always make sure to check out more than one agency unless you employer only offers you one choice. If you are making your own health insurance needs, talk to more than one agency. All of the agencies are out to make money for themselves and will do their best to make you believe that their policy is the one and only one for you. Do not take them at their word. They are businessmen and the money that comes into them is more important than your own personal needs.
The easiest part of the deal is figuring out if you want a low deductible or a high deductible policy. There are pros and cons to each type of plan and they are both completely different from each other. Just make sure that you do the planning to see what is best for you and your family as well as your financial situation.
If you are good at controlling your finances and know how to organize your finances, the high deductible plan might be the best option. It offers lower premiums and an HAS (health savings account). It takes some getting used to and some financial skills when it comes to organizing, but it also offers a range of percentages after the deductible has been met for the year.
If you are not the kind of person who is great with organizational skills, the lower deductible plan might be the best option to take. The costs for the health care is split throughout the life of the plan and it increases the annual payments, and there are always going to be a wide array of bills, but at least it makes it easier to control.
As long as you do your homework and can understand the differences between the low deductible plant and the high deductible plan, you have a jump on the insurance agent who will try to get you to purchase their plan no matter if it benefits you and your family or not.
