The cost of Michigan health insurance is one of the most confounding aspects of obtaining an individual or family group plan. Most consumers are unaware of how expensive medical care actually is—ultimately resulting in inadequate coverage.
Mike Novelli, President of Michigan HealthandLife.com answers questions associated with purchasing an individual and family group health plan:
Question: Are all Michigan medical plans required to cover all major health care services (i.e. surgery, chemotherapy)?
Mr. Novelli. Insurance providers are not required to cover any important medical services and care. Consumers should never assume that a benefit is covered; particularly, when it is not delineated in the policy. As a result, be sure to ask a licensed insurance agent to provide an analysis of all covered health benefits. It will alleviate the chances of subscribing to a deficient Michigan health insurance plan.
If I opt for a low premium Michigan health insurance plan, will it cover most of my health needs?
Mr. Novelli: No, low premium health plans are associated with minimal medical benefits and conducive for younger individuals.
Q: For an individual plan, is a lifetime maximum of $200,000 is more than sufficient coverage?
Mr. Novelli: Individual health plans should carry at least $2 million dollars for the lifetime of the coverage. Two hundred thousand dollars could be the minimum cost of a single hospitalization for treating cancer. Consequently, shop for policies with higher lifetime limitations.
Q: Are Michigan health insurance providers required to spell out all coverage gaps?
Mr. Novelli: On the contrary, legislation does not mandate that Michigan health insurance companies disclose all information. Prior to finalizing a decision, consumers should ask any questions and research any terms.
Q: If I have need confidential and professional advice, is there a resource, who I can rely on?
Mr. Novelli: Yes, please feel free to contact Michigan Health and Life for Michigan health insurance, no hassle advice and medical quotes.
