Which Of These Is The Better Health Care Insurance Provider?
Question by jimmy | Posted in Insurance
I'm going to be having jaw surgery in a few months and the doctor said they don't accept my current health insurance, so they told me i need to switch to either:
Fidelis
OR
Health First
The great thing is that either of them well cover my corrective jaw surgery with no cost at all which is fantastic.My current health insurance provider is AmeriChoice by united health care, my parents might change back to united health once my surgery is done and a year has passed.
Answer: Unless you live in a guaranteed issue state, no insurance company will give you private health insurance that will cover this preexisting condition.
The only insurances that will cover preexisting conditions, with no copays, deductibles, or coinsurance, is WELFARE health insurance, Medicaid.
So you need to apply to BOTH, and see which - if either - will accept you.
Why Do Liberals Blame The High Cost Of Health Care On Insurance Companies?
Question by John | Posted in Politics
The high costs originate with the health care providers.
Insurance companies actually fight with providers to keep costs down as much as possible. Why would the insurance companies want health care costs to be more expensive?
Do Liberals know the difference between health care providers and health insurance companies? If so why do you never hear them complain about what providers are charging in the first place?
Answer: I haven't heard anyone blame insurance companies for the cost of health care charged by providers. I have heard some blame insurance companies for increasing the cost of insurance well beyond the rate of inflation.
The problem is that there really aren't any effective ways in which to combat the actual costs of health care charged by the provider. We might decrease the cost of prescription drugs by negotiating with Big Pharma and allowing Americans to buy drugs from Canada, for example but that's about it.
There really isn't any way to decrease the price charged by a doctor or hospital. Our system doesn't allow for any sort of market forces (which you would

Which Companies Provide Aggregate Insurance Billing Services For New Health Care Providers?
Question by Gretchen | Posted in Insurance
I am starting a new mental health care practice. Some customers will pay cash, while others will submit their health insurance cards. In order to accept health insurance, it's my understanding that I will need to establish relationships with Blue Shield, Aetna, and other health insurance companies. Rather than spending hours and hours figuring out how to get and fill out the paperwork needed to establish those relationships, I would rather deal with a single company that intermediates and handles that process.
I'm sure there are several companies that provide this type of aggregate health claims processing services, but specific recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Answer: You need to call thelm, and apply to each one of them to be an "in network" contracted provider. It's GOING to take hours. You can't hire one company, as each agreement with each health insurer is UNIQUE. You will get paid seperate rates.
There are no companies that provide this type of service, to the best of my knowledge, because effectively, you're looking at a contract between YOUR business, and an insurance company - a third party contract wouldn't be BINDING.
This is exactly why a provider isn't "in network" with ALL insurance companies in the state.
If Employers Quit Providing Health Care Insurance?
Question by Michael T | Posted in Politics
would those of you that are defending the US health care system still defend the system even though it cost about 2x that of other industrial countries without any better results?
That is what is currently happening. Many large companies were paying the full cost of the health care insurance for the employee and family about 10 years ago. Today many of those companies now charge their employee about 25% of the health insurance cost due to the rapidly rising health care costs. Many large companies are now passing on the health care costs that exceed inflation to the employee. If the current rate of increase for health care remains the same, it is expected that employees will be
Answer: You are right, we have a managed health care system that denies care to millions of people because of rapidly rising costs. Part of the problem is that few people realize the ridiculousness of a situation where you need health care insurance to visit a doctor. Imagine that!
Insurance is supposed to protect against catastrophic risks (death, house burning down, etc)- but going to the doctor is a perfectly forseeable cost. Government intervention has essentially mandated such a system- businesses get a tax break on providing health insurance, individuals do not. Worse, by having a third party ( the insurance company,or Medicare usually) involved it severs the economic relationship
