What is the difference between Health Insurance and Health care Program?
Iѕ іt OK tο hаνе јυѕt thе health care program аnd nοt hаνе thе Health Insurance Plаn? I саn gеt Health care program fοr half thе monthly premium аѕ compared tο thе Health Insurance Plаn. Please advise? Iѕ іt advisable?
Health insurance is the one that pays for your medical expenses should you incur one. While health care program is designed for the continuity better living despite health disability.. Long Term Health Care Program is best be planned ahead.
If you find it suitable for you, then it’s fine. Otherwise, seek for a medical/legal health expert for a better advise.
You don’t say what country you are in, your age, or anything much else.
It doesn’t matter what these are called. You have to compare:
What doctors you can see (any doctor? one in their network?)
What kind of doctor you can see (do you have to go to a primary care physician first, before you can see a specialist?)
Whether hospitalization is covered
What is the deductible (the amount out of pocket before they pay anything each year)
What is the co-pay (the amount you pay each time you use the insurance)
How likely are you to use the benefits?
Then make up a situation – you fall off a bike and break your arm, or you catch something serious. Figure out how you will benefit from each plan.
Of course it is okay, as long as it suits your needs. I would actually combine a high deductible ins with a health care program for best coverage for the $ spent monthly. I recommend MySimpleCard.com for its cost effectiveness.
