Child Only Health Insurance

With the passage of Obamacare, finding child only health insurance in Georgia has become almost impossible. A few companies offer a 6 month STM (short term medical) plan but those plans can leave you owing a lot of money if the claim continues past the policy expiration date.

Health Access is a basic health insurance plan with lifetime benefits of $1 million to $3 million.

Self Employed Medical Insurance Plans in Georgia

Self employed individuals and those who own a small business in Georgia have several options available to them. Most business owners that call me ask about affordable group medical rates for themselves and their employees.

For many self employed business owners, group health plans are not the best answer. Many owners and their employees can find more affordable health plans and better value with individual or family major medical coverage.

If it is determined that a group major medical plan in GA  plan is in your best interest, here are some things you will need to know.

Your self employed business does not need to be incorporated but you will need evidence you have a legitimate business. Income tax and payroll records will usually suffice but some may also need a valid business license.

Some Georgia group health companies require at least 6 months of records while others will accept less. Some Georgia group health companies will allow a husband and wife to count as a legitimate business group while others do not.

If you have prior creditable coverage, a group medical plan is required to cover any pre-existing conditions. If you do not have creditable coverage, the insurance company may make you wait for up to 6 months before any pre-existing medical conditions are covered.

Georgia Health Savings Accounts (HSA’s)

Georgia Health Savings Accounts (HSA) are a great way to provide medical coverage for individuals, families and the self employed.
The U.S. Treasury requires you to have a qualified high deductible health insurance plan (QHDHIP) in place before you can establish a Health Savings Account. Such high deductible plans are not allowed to have copay’s for anything other than annual wellness exams. All covered expenses are used to satisfy the individual or family deductible before the health insurance company pays any claims.
Most of my clients (roughly 90% of them) find the HSA to provide exactly the major medical coverage they need at an affordable premium. The HSA is a great option for the self employed business owner

 

Medical Insurance Plans Are not Created Equal

Research ALL of the major medical insurance companies including Blue Cross, Cigna, Humana, Kaiser Permanente. Look at their plans in detail.

Georgia Medicare Plans, Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap Insurance)

Medicare supplement insurance, Medigap policies, Medicare Advantage Plans, or simply Med supp . . . all of this can be quite confusing. As part of the baby boomer generation, I know how challenging it can be if you are trying to decide which Medicare plan is right for you.

Medicare Supplement coverage (or Medigap) is designed to fill the gaps in coverage left by Medicare. It is sold by private insurance companies, not the government.  Advantage plans replace Medicare.

When you choose the right Medicare supplement insurance plan in Georgia you can sleep well at night knowing you will not have to worry about unexpected medical expenses. Your Medicare approved doctor, not some insurance company, decides what treatment is right for you. Since 1965 people just like you have trusted Medicare to pay their bills.

We have put together several pages with information on Medicare and Medicare supplement plans in Georgia that we hope will be helpful. Several of the pages contain short 3 minute video’s to further explain your Medicare supplement options in plain language.

How does Medicare part A work? What is Medicare part B, part C and part D? What is the difference in a Medicare supplement plan and a Medicare Advantage Plan? Is a Medigap insurance plan the same as a Medicare supplement plan? If I have Medicare isn’t that enough or do I need to supplement this coverage? Do most doctors take Medicare? Do some doctors refuse to treat Medicare Advantage patients? Is Medicare Part A and Part B plus a supplement enough or do I need a Medicare Part D plan? Can I be turned down for Medicare? When should I sign up for Medicare and a supplement?

We will strive to do our best to answer these questions about Medicare supplement and more to your satisfaction.
