Ohio Health And Dental Insurance

Posted by chumps10 | General Insurance | Saturday 13 June 2009 8:31 pm

Ohio health and dental insurance coverage can be combined into one policy. Often, the major Ohio health insurance companies, such as Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, and United HealthCare, will either include or offer separate riders for their dental coverage.

Below, you can view some of the features, coverages and approximate costs of adding dental coverage to your Ohio health insurance policy.

United HealthCare includes a dental “discount” coverage with their Ohio health plans. FACT (Federation of Consumers and Travelers) provides the discounts…usually between 10% and 40% on many dental and vision expenses. A more comprehensive dental insurance plan is also available for approximately $22-$34 per month per person.

Anthem Blue Cross Of Ohio offers a wide range of dental services that can be added as a rider to their health insurance plans. Both traditional and PPO plans are available at monthly costs between $22 and $36 per month per person.

Aetna offers two levels of dental coverage. If packaged with their Ohio health insurance plan, the cost is only $14 per month per person. A “stand alone” dental plan is also available for customers that do not own an Aetna health plan. The monthly cost is approximately $25.

Medical Mutual of Ohio offers a dental insurance rider with a $50 deductible. Once the deductible is met, most preventative services are covered at 100%. The approximate monthly cost is $15-$20.

Is Universal Health Reform Good For Ohio?

Posted by Ed | General Insurance | Monday 8 June 2009 9:27 pm

True Ohio health care reform centers on the four “pillars” of patients’ rights. Choice, competition, accountability and personal responsibility. A patient must have the right to choose their own doctor, and must protect a consumer’s right to choose the health insurance that best fits their needs and budget.

“Conservatives For Patients Rights” (CPR) recently reviewed 16 plans that have been discussed, written about or offered up as legislation. Which plans are too costly? Which plans promote competition within the healthcare industry?

10 Tips To Save Money On Your Ohio Health Insurance

Posted by Ed | General Insurance | Saturday 30 May 2009 9:56 pm

Ohio health insurance rates are actually quite affordable compared to other states. But whether you’re paying $60 per month or $560 per month, that’s too much. Right?

Well…here are 10 money-saving ideas that might reduce your Ohio health insurance rates. While all of these tips may not apply to you, perhaps a few will lower your premium.

· Raise your major medical deductibles. By increasing the deductible from $1,000 to $2,500, a family of four could save $2,000 per year.

· Consider an Ohio Health Savings Account (HSA). If you don’t have a lot of medical expenses, an HSA could potentially save you tens of thousands of dollars over your lifetime.

· Raise copay amounts if you are not using your office visit coverage more than three times per person per year.

· Combine all family members on one policy to possibly reduce rates. However, if the adult coverage should be different than the dependent coverage, two separate policies might reduce premiums.

· Compare rates every three years. Ohio health insurance rates generally increase each year, and your rates may be increasing faster than other companies.

· If you stopped smoking, notify the Ohio health insurance company. You may be eligible for a reduced rate.

· Are you paying for unneeded coverages? The removal of symptomatic office visit coverage could save hundreds…perhaps thousands of dollars every few years.

· Ask about “Wellness discounts.” Some Ohio health companies will reduce your premium if you regularly exercise and meet other requirements.

· Make sure you are using the “Preferred” Network if you have a PPO policy. You may be paying a higher premium because you are using the wrong Network.

· Purchase your policy through an Ohio broker, not an out-of-state agency that may recommend the wrong plan.

Perhaps the best tip is to let us research and recommend the best plan for you. We’re Ohio’s leading resource for Ohio health insurance plans and your rate is guaranteed to be the lowest allowed by the state.

Ohio Health Insurance Scams

Posted by Ed | General Insurance | Thursday 28 May 2009 10:00 pm

Ohio health insurance is big business. Unfortunately, sometimes it turns out to be monkey business.

When you go online and request an Ohio health insurance quote, you’re likely to be contacted…no…make that BOMBARDED, with calls and emails from across the US. And while the vast majority of persons who contact you are honest professionals, you may be contacted by a con artist looking to make a fast buck.

These Ohio health insurance scams operate in every state and are stealing millions of dollars from innocent victims. And sometimes, you don’t find out until your medical bills go unpaid.

However…there are some warning signs that can help you avoid a scam:

·        The plan appears to be similar to insurance, but the representative used words such as “benefits” and “coverage” instead of “insurance.”

·        You are asked to pay an expensive “application fee” or “association fee” in addition to the premium.

·        The company has no local offices and you have never heard of them.

·        The rep explaining the plan tells you that the policy must be purchased immediately or the rate will go up the next day.

·        The plan you are applying for accepts all applicants. Serious medical conditions do not affect the rate.

·        The rate appears to be substantially lower than other “Name-brand” plans and coverages appear to be higher.

·        The rep tells you they don’t have any materials to send in the mail until after you pay the initial fee.

Of course…as the old saying goes…If it sounds too good to be true…it probably is.
