Medical Discount Plan ideal for those who cannot afford or qualify for traditional health insurance. The companies offer discounted health services for a quite low monthly fee. Benefits include a range of discounts for doctors, hospitals, dental, vision, prescriptions, vitamins, as well as other health services. Individual & Family Health Plans This is a major health insurance plan for individuals and families. If you are looking for comprehensive long term health insurance coverage for yourself and/or your family members who are 62 years old or younger - this is the plan to choose. Short Term Medical Plans This plan is ideal for individuals in transition. Maybe you have just graduated from college and are no longer covered under your student health insurance or you moved out on your own, and you're no longer covered under your parents' medical insurance plan. Or perhaps you're employed part-time, going to school, leaving home for the first time, or even retiring early. Maybe you've found a new job, but your new employer's group health insurance plan won't kick in until you've been with months. YOu are not the only one who met this problem,I have met this type of problem before.I have good experience here    www.HealthInsuranceIdeas.info    to solve my similiar problem.

Question about the Health Insurance Bill that just passed in the House?

I am having a hard time finding anything in the health care bill that will help to control the cost of health care in this country. Can someone explain to me how the provisions in this bill will lower the amount we spend on health care as a nation?
--------------------
it wont. right now you are paying for your own health care which cost X amount. If this passes, you will have to pay for your X amount plus Y amount in taxes for the jerk off who doesn't work and expects free health care. This will cause your insurance company to raise their prices on you so you can no longer afford yours then you will have to go with government run health care. Which will eventually run every private health care company out of business. In the end you will be paying thousands more in taxes for your "free" health care than you did for your health care that only cost X amount Nationalized health care will screw us all. you will pay more for crappy coverage

Does health insurance cover marriage counseling?

I'm going to call & check when I get a chance. But I just wanted to know your experiences. We have Anthem BCBS if that matters. If insurance doesn't cover it, does anyone know about how much it costs?
--------------------
My insurance pays for a certain portion of counseling.

Seeming how I get free state funded health insurance, tell me why I?

Shouldn't use the ambulance for a free ride to the hospital?
--------------------
because unless it is an emergency they may not pay. but more importantly you would be taking one away from some one who really needed it. lastly if you are on state assistance.there usually is a resource that provides free shuttle or bus to and from appointments. contact your Cso.

Does Sanate bill exempt illegal immigrants from fines in case they fail to purchase health insurance?

Is it true that only American citizens and legal immigrants will be fined, and then jailed?
--------------------
Probably - and we pay for them too. Sure, it's doesn't say they are paid for but if they don't check, they are paid for. Obama is a LIAR! Joe Wilson was correct.

Is it a lot harder to sell health insurance since our economy has gotten worse?

Im an considering pursing this but am terrified by a job that is solely commision based
--------------------
Selling in the employer-based market is exrtremely competitive, and it always will be. Working solely for commission is always a bit scary, but can also be a great motivator. In this economy, employers are looking for new ideas, new concepts to help them balance the cost to the quality of the benefits. The purpose of employee benefits is to attract and retain quality employees. It is not an entitlement, but rather an incentive to keep the business' clients happy with the quality of their products and service. Good Luck. P.S. I agree with the NASE comment above.

Do health insurance companies cover homebirth?

What has been your experience/knowledge? Would the insurance company pay for the midwife or for equipment? Or would they claim it was too much of a risk and only pay for a hospital birth?
--------------------
I guess you're in the States. I've had two homebirths in Ontario, Canada and our health plan took care of everything. I think to know for sure, you're going to have to contact your insurance company, as I'm sure they all have different policies. It seems ridiculous to me that they would not cover it, as statistically speaking, homebirth is safer then a hospital birth, especially when you get into post-birth complications or infections from being in a foreign germ ridden environment (the hospital that is, not your home). You naturally don't use pain meds, so there's a huge savings right there.

Visiting Canada, do I need health insurance?

Let's say I live in the US and I'm going to visit Canada for a month. Do I need to purchase health insurance when I visit Canada? What happens if I break a leg or something in Canada? How much would it cost?
--------------------
Yes, you need health insurance of your own if you visit Canada and you should make sure you have it before you enter Canada. Our famous "free" health care is only for Canadian residents. I have no idea how much it costs to fix a broken leg if you're paying for it privately in Canada.

Adding stepson to health insurance policy?

My husband is court ordered to have health insurance for his son, but my insurance is better and cheaper. I just found out that I can carry my stepson under my plan, but I currently have a 3 year restraining order against the boy's mother. Would she be able to find out any personal information about me, e.g., my employer's name/address, who's my doctor, etc? I can just imagine how far she will try to go to get anything on me. Thanks!
--------------------
If she still has any legal custody she has the right to know about her sons medical conditon and his doctor. Due to HIPPA she can not find out any medical information about you. She will have to have information about his insurance carrier and his policy, and thats the only way I could think she could possibly find out where you work though I see no reason why she would. But beyond that. No she can't find out who your doctor is or any conditions you may or maynot have

health insurance covers the delivery charge of hospital and the born child?

no detail,for to know about the health ins. covarage
--------------------
Yes, babies are covered as new borns. You should check with the insurance to see exactly how. Some are automatically covered under the moms policy for the first 30 days of life. Most give you a certain amount of time to add the baby (30-60 days) in which time claims will deny until you have them added. You should check with your insurer.

Are Companies Required to Offer Health Insurance?

Are companies with a certain number of employees required to offer health insurance?
--------------------
This is the dog section...lol No, I do not believe they must provide employees with the option of insurance. I worked for a company a few years ago where it was not available and there were quite a few employees.

Health Net- Ever heard of it, and are they a good insurance company?

my husband and I need health insurance, like now! And the best plan we can get is with HealthNet, we just want some people's opinions about it. Thank you for all of your help.
--------------------
Health net certainly has the funded resourceful team. There are some new services issues still about, yet in the all around coverages it is very top performance. The one feature to consider is what is insurance. Insurance in the average home should be available cash resource, and low requirements, provided by a local service center. The meaning of health insurance has to come with the rules of good investment. Dependent on your medical availibilities if your a Russian, the web sites may not be approved from the paper actions needed. If you have a realistic choice that is done right locally is the important point. I also like to say good investment includes participation and deeds of christian membership. Asking all the local experts like minister, priests, teachers is the solid information.

I recently got health insurance. Do I pay the copay for a doctors visit if I haven't met the deductible?

Or will I be billed for the entire cost of the doctors visit since the deductible hasn't been met?
--------------------
It depends entirely on how your particular policy is set up. Generally, but not always, if you have a plan that has a doctor visit for a co-pay you do not have to meet the deductible first and you will not be billed any extra. However, you could be billed extra for services such as lab work, which may or may not be included in the co-pay (depending upon the plan). Ask your agent or your group representative for clarification on your policy because every plan is different.

If Obama hates the health insurance people so much?

why is he making us all go to them to buy thier insurance policies. This doesn't make sense unless he is getting millions in kickbacks to his Cayman Island bank account.
--------------------
Can't use reason or logic, it doesn't fit the Democrat agenda. Just repeat over and over, Bush sucks Bush sucks Bush sucks.

How much should health insurance cost me?

I am 22 years old, male, Student in college, homeowner, single
--------------------
Well, this is open to debate... The U.S. is about the only industrialized nation where health insurance costs anything out of pocket. Most other advanced nations have implemented universal health insurance a long time ago, so in those countries health insurance per se is free (i.e., the cost of it is paid by the government out of tax revenues)... On a more practical note, your insurance premium will depend on whether you want an HMO or a PPO, as well as on the deductible you choose. The lower the deductible, the higher the premium.

Would you be happy to pay for health insurance for 10 years, but only get 6 years worth of services?

Why hasn't the financing of this Ponzi scheme Health Care bill not been addressed?
--------------------
It has. People have been complaining about it for months, but just get brushed aside as being "teabaggers" and "unamerican". Actually, 60 cents on the dollar for the government is better than average. Usually, you get nothing for taxes paid.

Will my husband's health insurance pay for IVF?

My husband has health care because he is a veteran, I have none. We suffer from infertility. Will his insurance cover IVF because of his low sperm count?
--------------------
I'm pretty sure Tricare does not cover IVF, plus IUI can bypass low sperm count some what and he can be put on meds to increase his count.

Can my parents still claim me as a dependent when the only thing they pay for is my health insurance?

I'm 21 years old live on my own pay my own bills, Im a full time student as well, but I have loans for that; no contribution from my parents.
--------------------
It sounds like you don't want them to claim you any more. You can claim your self on your own income tax and not check the box that someone else is claiming you. The IRS will send out a letter to your parents asking them to prove that they provide at least 50% of your expenses. Insurance is a lot, but if you have younger siblings chances are that if it is an employer work policy the coverage is for child(ren) so whether they have one child or 20 it would be the same price. Now if you want to maintain a relationship with your parents, I would sit down with them and go over the pros and cons of which is more beneficial - them to claim you or you to claim yourself. Good luck
