Insurance Guides And Tips

One size doesn’t necessarily fit all when it comes to health insurance. But if you have a group insurance plan, such as through your employer, you have to accept the coverages and deductibles they offer. A personal health insurance plan, on the other hand, lets you pick the coverages that are right for your health needs and that fit your budget.

What Is Personal Health Insurance?

A personal health insurance plan can be anything you need it to be:

* A comprehensive insurance policy to cover you and your entire family long-term.

* A short-term insurance policy to cover you when you are between jobs.

* A supplement to cover gaps in your existing health insurance policy.

Saving on Personal Health Insurance

Personal health insurance plans may be more costly than group plans because you are not sharing the cost with your employee. To help you get the best rate on your personal health insurance plan, follow these tips:

* See if your auto and home insurance company also offers health insurance and if so, whether you can get a discount.

* If you have any bad health habits, such as smoking or obesity, work to break these habits and improve your health.

* Set your deductible as high as you can afford.
