Low Cost Family Health Insurance - Some New Trends That Will Save You Money

By: Greg Haehl

Is there such a thing as low cost family health insurance? If you listen to the news and read all the newspapers then I am sure that you are already convinced that health insurance is no longer affordable. There has been an upward trend in the cost of health insurance. The cost for doctor and hospital services is always on the increase and so the cost of health insurance will rise accordingly. This should not surprise any of us who understand basic economics.

Insurers understand this problem and are making every effort to find creative methods to lower health insurance premiums. The health insurance shopper has to take a different approach. There are many ways to fine-tune a health insurance plan without losing the desired benefits. The smart shopper will look into the new approach to purchasing health insurance and reap the benefits.

Self-Insuring

There are advantages to the consumer who can grasp the concept of self-insuring. Self-insuring allows you to lower your health insurance premium by taking responsibility for the deductible amount. Deductibles are examples of self-insurance. Health insurance deductibles can range from $500 to $5000 with some major medical plans. The amount of the deductible should be determined by your ability to self-insure for the deductible amount.

Health Savings Accounts

This kind of savings account is like having a medical IRA. You can set aside money in a savings account for future medical expenses. The health savings account is a great way to fund the higher deductible. The tax-deductible feature of the Health Savings Account makes it very attractive.

The average consumer spends way too much time choosing between PPO (The Preferred Provider Organization Plan) verses the HMO (The Health Maintenance Organization Plan). The real cost savings issues are found when we concentrate on the plan design. That includes the deductible options, vision care, dental care, and prescription drug options.
