A healthy balance
Cause for confusion – getting the right health insurance balance.
Choosing the right health insurance is a huge decision for most families. On one hand, you want to make sure you and your family has cover for all eventualities with quick access to the best experts; on the other hand, you need to be able to afford it.
Understanding how to balance budget and need is where insurance advisers are vital. You need to know what options are available to you, what each of those options offers and whether or not you can afford them.
The variety of health insurance plans seem endless, so how can you begin to make sense of them all so you can get the coverage for what you need and avoid paying for what you don’t? The needs of a healthy 20-something are vastly different to someone who’s entering retirement. And with each plan having different ways of handling different scenarios, do you have the time to wade through them all to get the mix right?
Your insurance adviser is there to do the hard work for you. They know what questions to ask to identify your health care needs. Do you have any pre-existing conditions? How comprehensive do you want your plan to be? What could happen should you require surgery? These are tough questions, but with careful consideration your insurance adviser will be able to find the right health insurance policy so you can get the balance just right – the cover you need at a price you can afford.
