Navigating health insurance plans can be a daunting task.
The terminology is confusing, policy breakdowns are hard to follow, and the stakes are awfully high.
So to make the selection process easier, here are a few things for you to consider:
1) Your employer’s plan may not be the best deal
This is because group insurance premiums are based on the group’s average health — so if you’re healthy as a horse, you might find a cheaper plan or one with more benefits.
2) The lowest premium plan may not be cheaper in the long run
Low premiums are tempting, we get it! But when it comes to medical emergencies, premiums might not even be the most significant cost.
After all, plans with lower monthly fees tend to make up the difference elsewhere — usually with a high out-of-pocket deductible!
3) But don’t avoid high-deductible plans either
If you maintain your health and have the means to cover the expenses, higher deductibles can actually save you a lot of money in the long run!
There’s a lot to think about when it comes to picking a health care plan — so if you’d like to discuss it further, drop a comment below or send us a message :)
