Many families
will find themselves without medical
coverage at some point in their lives. So, what do
you do if you find yourself in this situation? Here are some thing
that you should consider when purchasing quality, low-cost temporary
family health insurance.
Low-cost temporary family health insurance is available for those
under 65 and who are in generally good health. It
also usually covers dependants under 19, as well. Although these policies
are only good for six months or so, you can reapply for coverage,
as needed.
Bear in mind, however, that any illness or condition that occurred
during this temporary coverage will be treated as a pre-existing condition
under the new policy. Before you apply, however,
there are some questions you should ask the salesman or representative.
You need to be certain of the maximum policy benefit, for example,
and you should make sure of the co-payment schedule. Many low-cost
temporary family health insurance plans are PPO networks, so you need
to find out if you are required to have a primary care physician.
You should also ask the representative how pre-existing conditions
will be treated under the plan. Some
companies will not cover pre-existing diseases or
conditions. |
