Shopping for and purchasing an individual health insurance plan can be a tedious experience. There are many different insurance companies, plans, doctor networks, plan options ... and then there is the cost of the health plan.
When you start to apply for an individual health plan you have to disclose your entire medical history, provide details on your doctors, and maybe even provide medical records. Whew! No wonder so many people put off getting an individual health insurance plan - it can be a huge project.
To help you with the shopping process, here are 5 questions to ask when you're shopping for an individual health plan:
- Do I want short-term or long-term coverage?
- How much am I prepared to pay out of my own pocket?
- Are my doctors in the network?
- How do I want to pay for doctor's office visits?
- What optional coverage do I need?
