Healthcare, Insurance, and You: The Savvy Consumer's Guide
Autor Lisa Zamoskyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 aug 2013
With the advent of healthcare reform, things are changing—especially when it comes to insurance. Most people will now have to buy insurance. Do you know where to get a policy or what to look for in one? Did you know more people will now qualify for free or subsidized healthcare? Even if you get insurance through work, you'll face new choices that you'd better understand to maintain your peace of mind. As this book shows, the failure to understand how insurance and the healthcare system work can have a major impact on your physical and financial health.
Healthcare, Insurance, and You is an easy-to-use guide that explains the main challenges you face when trying to get excellent healthcare: choosing the best insurance policy for your situation, finding the right doctor or hospital, buying prescription drugs the least expensive way, picking out the right Medicare plan, or fighting for your rights when dealing with insurers or medical providers. Healthcare, Insurance, and You includes tips, resources, and strategies for navigating the healthcare system and avoiding common mistakes so you can get the best healthcare for you, your family, or your organization without breaking the bank. This book shows you:
- How to choose a health plan that best meets your medical and financial needs, including new options under the Affordable Care Act
- Ways to cut through red tape and fight billing errors and claim denials
- What businesses need to know about offering—or not offering—insurance to employees
- How to plan ahead for a disability or forend-of-life care
