Simple question that my parents cant seem to answer?
--------------------
To retain better quality employees. The companies where it's harder to FIND qualified employees, tend to offer coverages. The companies where your employment base is unskilled labor and easily replaced, tend to not offer coverages. Sure they could pay an employee more with no benefits - but most employees WANT those benefits, and would rather have them. Benefits are WORTH something, ya know! The average no deductible family plan with maternity coverage, is valued at $2000 a month! That's not chicken feed . . ..

As a senior citizen on medicare do I need additional health insurance. Presently I have both and it is costly.?
It is costing me nearly $200 per month. Whenever I have blood work and doctor visit they charge medicare not my med insurance. I am healthy and only go to the doctors and have blood work 3 times per year.

Medicare has two part that cover medical related expense. Part A is for hospital situations an if admitted your only cost in 2009 is a $1,068 deductible. Part B is for all out patient medical expenses. It pays 80% of the Medicare rate for a specific treatment and the person pays 20%. Today so much treatment is done on an outpatient basis thus a Medicare Supplement plan, which pays the 20%, is needed. In my area a very good Medicare Supplement can be purchased for about $190 a month. There would be an additional cost of about $40 for prescription coverage. Another option to cover the medical treatment expenses Medicare does not pay is a Medicare Advantage plan. They normally cover medical and prescription and the monthly cost could be around $120 a month. A person currently on Medicare can enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan once a year during the annual open enrollment from Nov 15th to Dec 31.

Is the unmarried mother of children of US servicemen eligible for commissary and health insurance benefits ?
The father is married to another woman with whom he has no children.
--------------------
Again, if they are proven to be his children, they are eligible for all rights and benefits married, divorced or whatever in between. She is not eligible. If it is an international "incident", I understand, she is governed also by the laws and morays of her country. The child is ours, though.

Shall I buy Apollo Munich’s Easy Health-- Individual Health Insurance Plan?
I am a corporate employee and have a health cover from my employer. I don't think that there is a need of individual health insurance plan, as I am already covered. But, one of my friends has created a proposal for me to buy Apollo Munich's Easy Health plan. Shall I go ahead?
--------------------
Yes, you should, as you would not be able to avail the health cover benefits after you leave your job and if you would buy the plan later, you would not be able to enjoy pre-policy benefits. Your waiting period would be same as it is. But, if you will buy it, your waiting period time will reduce and Apollo Munich is the best provider. So, go ahead. It will help you a lot. For details about the plan, visit

Is psychiatry covered by health insurance? I feel like I need it, but I don't have the money to pay for it.
I'm not sure how to check. I don't want my parents to know that I'm seeking help, but I am eighteen and am under their health insurance.

if they are on a "group policy" through their employer's plan, chances are good that mental health issues are covered. if, however, they are self-employed and have private health insurance, chances are very slim they mental health visits would be covered. maybe you could find out which it is. they will find out that you are seeking help if you go to a psychiatrist because the 'eob' report...explanation of benefits report will be sent to them following any office visit that you may have....see if there is any possible way that you could discuss this with them...if not, talk to a psychiatrist's office that you have in mind and explain the situation. see what kind of feedback he/she might have.

Is medicare considered good health insurance?
how good is medicare compared to an average health insurance plan?
--------------------
Medicare is insurance that you have been paying for all of your working life. In some instances, it pays better than 80/20, and in others it pays less than 80/20. It does not, however come without costs and gaps. If you are enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B, it will cost you approx $93 per month in premium. This premium is taken directly out of your social security check - if you are drawing social security. I would not recommend going with Medicare alone. The gaps in coverage can be easily and completely covered if you wish to do so. There are several plan designs to choose from, including managed care plans that can be at no cost to you. The Standard Plan designs A-J have a varying cost, depending on which plan you choose and which insurance company you elect for coverage. The typical cost for this coverage, in the individual market in CT, is around $160 per month per insured. The new Medicare Part D is also something that you will need, as Medicare does not cover prescriptions, generally. These plans can be purchased in the range of $23 to $65 per month.
