1. Five Tips to Trim your Medical Expenses and Save
With the rising cost of healthcare, medications, and insurance, it isn’t surprising that people are trying to figure out ways to avoid getting sick and choosing a better lifestyle to lower insurance costs. There is actually quite a bit one can do to help save same cash. It is just a matter of tweaking ones lifestyle choices and preventing health issues from arising or keeping the immune system up so you just don’t get as sick as much. For those people who are seriously sick of high medical premiums and paying out the nose year round for doctor’s visits and medications, this should be a great thing. Small things make a world of difference when it comes to your health.
a) Stop smoking is the biggest one. Not only do you get sicker than the average person, it is worse. Many smokers are treated for several bouts of bronchitis and pneumonia each year. Smoking also makes you susceptible to colds and other infection. You will also pay a higher premium on your insurance and in some cases won’t get covered in full for cigarette related illnesses or diseases. Plus the money you save from quitting can go to bigger and better things than your medical issues.
2. How to Get a Group Health Insurance Rate as an Individual
Most individuals can get really good group rates through their employers. As long as your place of business has more than 50 employees and actually offers a medical plan, you should get a pretty good deal. The overall cost is based on how many of the employees actually have the insurance plan. The more people who are signed up, the cheaper the plan will be. Most people will choose this over going with a private plan any day because it is so much more cost friendly. That is one of the first things you should be looking for when seeking a job, whether or not they offer insurance benefits or not. At your interview ask to see their healthcare providers plan and rates. If they will let you take it home. This way you can see if the plan offers what you want and at a price you can afford. There are some private insurance companies that have reduced individual rates that are comparable to group ones.
3. Five Ways to Cut your Health Insurance Costs
Nearly one-third of all health-insurance premiums increased to 30 percent or more. At that rate, the average cost of health insurance per employee will exceed $3,000. Seventy-three percent of senior executives believe health-care costs will continue to increase 20 percent or more each year for the next three years. The message here is clear: If you haven’t already gotten serious about cutting your company’s health-insurance costs, now is the time. It can be done. The first thing you should do is learn how the system works–or doesn’t work. Most small employers spend fewer than four hours a year thinking about their company health plans. Learn what your options are. Your insurance agent can help you shop for cheaper plans. But don’t stop there. Compare plan benefits, insurance-company records, and service guarantees.

So your husband is the subscriber. YOU are the guarantor – the person promising to pay the money if the insurance declines to pay.
You would also be the guarantor for any of your minor children.
ya, I’m into Health and exterminating jews….
I would love to listen to this in an elevator.
Great action shots…. better than the olympics!!! LOL
No. Doctors do that, not the insurance company.
It’s like the olympics except nobody died
I actually sell small group health insurance. The size of employer, type of plan and health status all play a role. But most companies base their prices on the area you live in as well.
If you live in a rural area where there aren't a lot of physician contracts, it'll often be more expensive. A more urban area where there are a lot of physicians tends to be cheaper.
Another factor is the age of the insured. The older the person, the more expensive the coverage.
It's because the only people that want to buy it, are planning on using it – there isn't any sharing of the cost. Kinda like, IVF coverage – are you going to buy it? Why not?
The ONLY place to get maternity coverage is through a group policy with your employer – because then there's true sharing of cost – the men buy it, the women buy it, the post menopausal women buy it, and the child haters buy it, along with the people who are actually planning on using it.
If you don't get your health insurance through your job there, you should get it through a local agent – local, so they know who has the best deals and the most providers in your area – and agent, so you have someone to ask your questions of, and go to when you have problems.
what else do you listen to besides celine dion? Just wondering if you have musical taste or maybe you’re just hating, in my opinion health has an orignal sound, maybe you just don’t like originality,
Personal Health Information is protected, and your rights may have been violated. There is no harm unless you are forced to provide the information. There is no law that says the employer can ask you to voluntarily provide the information.
As an Insurance Broker, we come across this type of thing often. In most cases, the information is not required, for two reasons. 1. If the employer is a smaller group of employees, we would be able to use a rate table to determine the rates. 2. If it is a larger group, we can get the "statistical information" from the insurance company to share with prospective insurers. There is no identifying information in this information.
The problem comes in when a smaller group is trying to utilize a newer solution, where they self-insure. The company that provides claims and administrative services, in order to assist the employer to set the rates, needs the information to estimate the claims over the coming year.
There are solutions to this. You should be able to provide this information, on a voluntary basis. You should be able to provide this information so that your employer won't have access to it, by putting it in a sealed envelope, not to be opened until it reaches the insurance company. Before you talk to an attorney, talk to your boss to see if there is a solution. You will benefit from this by providing accurate information – there is potential for savings on insurance premiums.
With the advice and counsel of your Accountant, contact various insurance companies who offer health insurance. Then through a face to face meeting design a plan that fits your needs, and your budget.
At the age of 56, "affordable" is going to be relative. IF you are in perfect health, and not overweight, a GOOD low/no deductible plan is going to cost you about $600 to $700 a month. The less healthy you are, the more overweight you are, the more expensive the policy is, and at that age, it won't take a lot for the insurance company to flat out refuse to write you.
You really need to sit down with a local, independent agent near you (find one at http://www.iiaa.org) and let THEM guide you, after asking you a bunch of questions.
But if you've got a ton of maintenance prescriptions, and you're looking for a full coverage no deductible plan for $100 a month, it doesn't exist. If someone on the internet offers that to you, IT'S A SCAM.
@brownsound202 hahaha that would be exciting!
