Check Before You Change Your Insurance
You trust your doctor to keep you healthy and help you make smart healthcare decisions. What if you walked into an appointment one day, and found out they could no longer see you? Would you have to skip cancer care, cancel appointments, or stop managing your chronic disease until you found someone new?
3 Steps to Take When Changing Your Insurance
For many patients, this nightmare scenario is all too real. The cause? Often, it is the result of choosing a new insurance plan. That does not mean you should never get a new plan. It does mean you have to make sure any insurance changes help you keep your trusted doctors. If you are thinking about getting new insurance coverage, there are 3 steps you should take before you commit to your new plan.
Take Your Time
Sometimes, you get phone calls or letters from insurance providers who make you feel that switching insurance is the only right thing to do. There is no hurry, though. Before you sign on to a new plan, though, take time to make sure that the new plan will meet all of your healthcare needs.
Make Sure Your Providers Accept the New Plan
Before you sign on to a new plan, it is very important to check with each of your healthcare providers. Make sure they accept your new insurance plan so you can keep your trusted team with you even after you switch.
Understand Any Plan Before You Adopt it
Sometimes, patients switch insurance plans without even realizing it, or they switch without understanding exactly how their coverage will change. Before you change your insurance, make sure you understand the whole plan and what you need to do to make the switch official.
