Even the least expensive Pennsylvania health care plans will offer some benefits that you may not realize are included. For example on most non-temporary plans , national health care reform changes from 2010 now require all qualified preventive benefits to covered at no cost to the policyholder. There are no deductibles, waiting periods or coinsurance that needs to be met. This means that annual routine physicals, well baby visits, pap smears, mammograms and preventive colonoscopies don’t cost you anything! And they are covered immediately!
Although “catastrophic” and “high deductible” plans offer low premiums, it’s important to understand the coverage and potential out-of-pocket costs you could potentially face. These types of policies contain varying degrees of benefits once the deductible has been satisfied. Most HSA high deductible plans cover 100% of medical expenses (after the deductible). This is a popular type of plan and is precisely the type of policy that I (myself, wife and two children) have. The cost savings can be substantial, especially over time.
However, some catastrophic contracts in Pennsylvania will have limitations on office visit and prescription benefits after a deductible has been met. Common limitations are lack of non-generic prescription coverage, incomplete office visit coverage or no office visit or prescription coverage at all. Premiums can be thousands of dollars less per year, and if the risk is understood, this type of policy is very appropriate. Of course, it's impossible to predict your future medical bills. But a fairly accurate barometer is to look at your health history for the last 3-5 years.
Regardless of the type of health insurance policy you purchase, you are not required to keep it any length of time. You do not have to sign a contract obligating you to keep coverage and typically you are not penalized for canceling a plan early. For that reason, “temporary” medical plans have become very popular if an individual or family only needs coverage for a limited amount of time. Rates are cheap, policies are quickly approved and coverage can continue without interruption while you seek other job or insurance options.
