Answer: WRONG ! if you have the better plans..
Example: Aetna POS plans FREE ! No Co pay or Deductible as long as it is an
annual preventative exam (1 per year)
Important note: Many plans vary . Some do not have the examples above. IE ... HSA plans. Some you may have to pay your regular Co pay on preventative. Some do not even have a preventative benefit. Please call or Email us to discuss and review what are the differences.
"I have never been sick in my life, Insurance is really for other people not me"
"Do you also have a Superman savings account ?"
Answer: Sorry to say this. "That is just plain illogical".
I must give you my example so I do not embarrass the 1000's of people on this topic who truly believe they are superman/woman . This topic is very dear to our hearts at Healthy Florida. We hear this sad line almost everyday. Or the alternate , "I will get Insurance for my children, they need it more than me.
I have never had a major health problem until 2 years ago I am a very healthy, regular weight do not smoke and exercise daily.
(My true story)
Ist problem Jan 06- Gall Bladder attack (heredity related)...removal and staff infection from hospital, after 5 days visit.; $33,000.
2nd problem: Boogie boarding Jan 07. Slammed onto sand face first. 4 herniated discs, major neuropathy pain in arms, to this date has not gone away. 5 days in Hospital $38,000. No operation yet. 4 MRI's and many visits to neurologists. Estimated surgery and recovery costs to come; $35,000-$50,000. Not including physical therapy and prescription drugs.
Do I make my point. My Insurance is a few hundred dollars a month. I only have paid my max out of pocket $2500 once a year when I needed this major medical help.
I believe that my wallet/savings/ equity in home is not a endless money tree or myself, I am not a Superman !
Health Insurance from the Insurance company is less than brokers/agents !
Wrong !

Answer: Insurance is the concept of the discounted dollars on unknown risks.
Answer: Insurance is the concept of the discounted dollars on unknown risks.
Big problem ! If you just found out you have a health problem without Insurance to help with the costs.
Insurance companies on Individual Insurance generally will not cover and generally deny coverage for new health problems.
There are rules on preexisting conditions. Every carriers has a rule.
Important to understand what and what they will not cover.
The 63 day rule (call us)
Maternity is generally is a deniable cause to reject a new insurance application. Exception IE. Qualified Group Employer sponsored plans. Check with your employer. If your employer does not currently have a plan have them call us. We will be glad to offer group quotes in 24-36 hours. Many Group plans will cover maternity even if you are pregnant now. Visit www.HealthyFloridaGroup.com if you have a company with 4 or more employees.
Answer: Saver and Value plans are generally very reduced benefit plans. Be sure to consult a Healthy Florida representative before purchasing these plans.
Many people are attracted to the less cost and are ignoring the major reduced benefits.
Answer: WRONG ! on many plans.
Example : Aetna POS plans, United Co Pay Plus , Humana Portrait
Only when you need services that "Cannot" be billed thru the Doctors office. IE; Hospital, MRI, surgeries
Example : Aetna POS 2500 plan. Broken leg.
I go to the Orthopedic Doctor (Specialist no referral needed) They x ray my leg put me in a cast and send me home.
Cost: Dr Specialist Co pay, 2500 plan ; $40. That all !
When do deductibles and coinsurance cost me ?
Examples: Hospital, MRI, X-rays outside the Doctors office etc..
Plan exceptions: HSA's. United Healthcare, "Plan 100's", Look for the phrase "Deductible Waived".
Hot tip* Bill's Formula-" Deductibles, coinsurance and maximum out of pocket"
They tease you with a entry rate and boom ! One month later I get a bigger bill .....WRONG !
Answer: Policies have a ONE YEAR rate guarantee minimum, they are called filed rates. Rates are filed with the Florida Department of Financial services. Once approved they are the rate.
Exception: When initially applying for health insurance you can be denied coverage because of Health Conditions. You can have your rate raised higher (with notification) after under witting has reviewed you initial application. After renewal you rate can change (1 year later). We recommend that you call or email us at renewal time to discuss alternate pricing and plans. Just to make sure that you have the best plan that meets your needs and budget.
There are policies that have a 3 year rate guarantee ( Call Us)
Answer: No such thing ! Never has been.
Example: A good friend bought a policy from a very reputable major carrier. Her regular cost for a 2500 plan ( Full comprehensive plan with a 5 million dollar lifetime cap) would have been $ 235 per month . She called and said she found a real bargain for a 2500 plan for $112 per month. She said it had the same co pays and paid her $500 a day for a hospital stay. Not reading the plan summary or consulting with Healthy Florida, she applied for the plan. After all she said "This is one of the biggest companies in Florida"
Problem: The plan
Indemnity for Hospital says $500 per day. Most stays are over $5000 per day !
The lifetime limit was $10,000. Most good plans are 1- 5 million dollars ! After $10, 000 you are on your own. OUCH!
1 Hospital visit a year covered. Note: Regular full comprehensive Insurance generally does not limit your Hospital benefit.
Prescription are generally omitted or very limited in these plans
Are they going to send out a bill collector if I cannot pay or I have gotten Insurance elsewhere
( Ie. Employer Health Insurance)?
Answer: Health Insurance Policies that we offer can be cancelled at any time by written notice to the Insurance carrier.
(Please no phone call changes or answering machines. Insurance carriers do not accept verbal cancellations)
Exception: Employer sponsored section 125 (Pre Tax) benefits. You must have a qualifying event to cancel Ie.
