What is an HMO?
HMO stands for Health Maintenance Organization, and it is the most restrictive type of managed care. With an HMO you usually cannot go outside the network for treatment except in the case of an extreme emergency. You must have a primary care physician who is responsible for your care and providing referrals if you need to go to a specialist. It is also usually the most affordable type of managed care.
Should I get a high deductible policy?
Affordability is the most common reason for choosing a high deductible policy. It may also allows you to have an HSA (healthcare savings account) which is exempt from tax in order to put aside money to pay for covered medical expenses.
How do I make sure my doctor takes the health insurance?
The first option is to check the list of doctors who are in the plan network but if this isn’t helping you, call your doctor’s office, they should be able to help.
Are my prescriptions covered?
Every plan has a formulary which is a list of covered medications. They are listed in tiers; some tiers may be free, and others may have a copay and/or a deductible. You should be able to find this on the carrier website.
