Health Insurance Caution
The Early Show (CBS) ran a segment on Hazardous Health Insurance. The plot of the segment was that with the growing number of uninsured in America, more and more people are purchasing individual health insurance, and according to a Consumer Reports story many of these individual health plans have major coverage gaps that can be hazardous to your health.
One of the major pitfalls that the Consumer Reports story pointed out was spending limits on vital care. CBS medical correspondent Jennifer Ashton stated that you should make sure that your health plan covers everything including diagnostics, imaging tests, in-patient and outpatient care and rehabilitation.
Ashton also warned that health insurance premiums that sound too good to be true probably are, and advisies health insurance shoppers to read the fine print, as your enrollment in a health plan is a contract and the details are very important.
