Affordable private health insurance - does such a thing exist? If you don’t receive insurance through your employer, are you doomed to go without insurance or spend a large chunk of your take-home pay on expensive insurance that doesn’t offer much coverage?
The good news is that affordable private health insurance does exist, and with a little research you can find an insurance company that offers coverage for a reasonable price.
What Kind of Private Health Insurance Do You Need?
Before you start your search for affordable private health insurance, ask yourself a few questions to narrow down the kind of private health insurance you need:
* Do you need comprehensive coverage that covers doctor visits, preventative care, and prescriptions, or do you just need basic coverage that covers hospitalization and inpatient /outpatient surgery?
* How long do you need coverage? If you just need private health insurance to cover a gap of a few months (for example, when you're between jobs) then short-term health insurance may be your best choice.
* How much can you afford to pay for co-pays and deductibles? The higher you set your co-pay and deductible, the lower your premium will be.
* Do you have a particular doctor or hospital you prefer? You’ll want to make sure your preferred doctor and hospital accepts your insurance.
