Important points to consider when interviewing insurance companies or reviewing your present health coverage...
 

  • Is your plan a true Major Medical PPO Plan or does it have restrictions and  caps as to what the insurance company will pay?
  • Can you choose your doctors and hospitals or must you have a referral, commonly called the "gate keeper" when you need a specialist?
  • Can you be singled out for cancellation?
  • Can you be singled out for rate increases due to medical condition?
  • Are you covered on or off the job - 24 hours a day
  • Does you coverage change when you travel outside of Florida?
  • Do you have Worldwide coverage?
  • If you move, can you take the plan with you?
  • If you are self-employed are you sure you are covered on the job ... without Worker's Compensation?
  • Does your plan have a "Utilization Review" that determines treatment limitations?
  • In case of a terminal illness, can you get a lump sum payment to help with the bills, seek alternative treatment or use the money for living expenses?  (Available through our Critical Illness Plan)
  • Are you able to custom design your own plan and pay only for what you choose?  ... Or are you paying for benefits you do not use?
  • If you are on a group insurance plan, is it too expensive to insure the other members of your family?

    Most individual health insurance plans fall into these broad categories:

    • Major Medical - Typically referred to as Preferred Provider Organizations
      (PPOs).  These types of plans offer broad coverage through a contracted agreement
      between the insurance company and the health provider.
    • Short Term Major Medical - Very similar to the aforementioned Major Medical PPO-type plan, but typically purchased to provide from one onth to twelve months of temporary medical coverage.
    • Indemnity Plan - Also known as "reimbursement" plans.  These plans allow you to
      chose your own doctors and hospitals.  The plans pay a set amount to you for medical
      expenses allowing you the freedom of using the benefit any way you want.    
    • HSA-Qualified High Deductible Health Plan - Similar to Major Medical, but you can take contributions from your HSA for eligible health care expenses tax-free:
      |
          *  Having a qualified, high-deductible health plan (HDHP) in place is a requirement under IRS code 223 to make contributions into a Health Savings Account.  HDHP is simply the acronym for the qualified health insurance plan. Contact us for your health plan options before you attempt to open an HSA.
            *  Annual contributions are limited to the amount of your deductible but not to exceed
      $2,850 for an individual and $5,650 for a family plan.  Your own HSA contributions are tax-deductible.  Whatever money you deposit in your HSA will roll forward from year-to-year so you will never lose your contributions.  The IRS will penalize excess contributions. 

                     *  Interest earned on your
              account is tax-free. 

                    *  You can take deductions
               from your HSA for eligible health
               care expenses tax-free.  All
               other deductions prior to age 65
               are subject to a 10% penalty by
               the IRS.  It is recommended you
               retain all medical expense 
               receipts.
      
        
            

                Withdrawals for qualified
               medical expenses are tax free.
               Eligible health care expenses
               include the charge for payments
               for the diagnosis, cure,
               mitigation, treatment, prevention
               of disease, treatment affecting
               any structure or function of the
               body, prescription drugs, nursing
               services, qualified long term care
               services and Medicare premiums. 
               The list of qualified expenses is
               extensive.
     

                     *  Eligible expenses do not
               include funeral or burial
               expenses, health club dues, over-
               the-counter medicines, toiletries,
               cosmetics, a trip or program for
               the general improvement of your
               health or most cosmetic
               surgeries.

                        *  Your Health Savings
               Account is portable.  You own the
               HSA and it is yours to keep -
               even when you change plans or
               retire.  You long as you medically
               qualify you can switch insurance
               plans anytime and retain all your
               contributions to your HSA. 

                     *  Individuals under 65 years
               old are eligible to open an HSA
    .

    How to chose the best plan for you and your family:

    Look for these key features: 

    • Hospital:  The policy should adequately cover your room and board plus any
      miscellaneous charges while hospitalized.
    • Surgical:  This benefit pays your surgeons' fee plus related costs such as
      anesthesiologist.
    • Physician:  Pays for visits by the doctor while confined in the hospital or on an
      outpatient basis.
    • Ambulance Transport:  Pays for ground as well as air transport to the hospital.
    • Catastrophic Coverage:  The plan should pay a high lifetime maximum to protect you against financial ruin in case of a catastrophic illness or injury.
    • Co-insurance Maximums:  Commonly know as a "stop loss" - the plan pays 100%
      above a certain amount therefore limiting your financial exposure to a reasonable
      amount.
