Where to Find an Affordable Massachusetts Health Insurance Plan
In this day and age of skyrocketing medical costs, health insurance is something you can't afford to be without. Here's how to find an affordable Massachusetts health insurance plan.
Exploring Your Options
Most people get health insurance through their employers. However, if you're unemployed or your company doesn’t offer health insurance, there are still ways for you to get coverage:
* If you left a job that offered health insurance, look into COBRA coverage. COBRA lets you remain covered under your former employer’s health insurance plan for a few months at your own cost.
* Look into the state health insurance programs. These programs provide health insurance for Massachusetts residents who can’t afford private insurance. You can learn more Massachusetts’s state health insurance programs by visiting the Massachusetts Division of Insurance website.
* Group insurance from an organization. Employer health insurance plans cost less because you get a lower group rate. Buying health insurance through an organization such as your college alumni group or a professional group can get you the same type of discount.
If you don’t qualify for these options, you can still buy an affordable individual health insurance plan. Many types of individual plans are available: comprehensive coverage, major medical coverage, emergency coverage, short-term coverage, PPOs, HMOs, and more.
Finding Cheap Massachusetts Health Insurance
If you decide that an individual health insurance plan is your best option, then you need to start searching for an affordable policy. An insurance comparison website is the best place to start. On such a website, you complete a form with information about yourself and your health insurance needs. You then get fast quotes from multiple A-rated health insurance companies.
The best websites also let you talk with insurance professionals so you can ask questions and make sure you get the best health insurance plan for your needs and your budget (see link below).
