What types of Massachusetts Health Insurance are there?
HMO- Health
Maintenance Organization. This type
of insurance is called managed care.
This means you have certain network of doctors and hospitals in
PPO-Preferred Provider Organization. This type of insurance is also called managed
care but it gives the consumer much more freedom; they allow you to visit any
doctor or hospital in or out of network.
Most Massachusetts PPO’s have an in network
and an out of network charge. If the in
network co-insurance is 100% then the out of network co-insurance would be
80%. If the in network co-insurance is
90% then the out of network co-insurance would be 70% Typically Massachusetts PPO’s
offer co-payments for doctor visits as well as hospitalization.
Indemnity Plan - In
Discount Medical Plans – In recent years many
Discount Medical Plans have started to surface.
These plans have relatively inexpensive, but consumers must realize that
this is not insurance. All these
companies do is to get their customers discounted rates (20-50% off) on certain
procedures at certain physicians and hospitals.
Federal Mandated Health Insurance Laws
HIPAA
Along with Massachusetts Health Insurance Laws, there are
Federal Laws that regulate Health Insurance companies. HIPAA (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996). This act mandated
federal standards for individual and group health insurance plans. Some of the standards that it established were
relative to guaranteed renew ability, crediting for prior health coverage and
pre-existing condition waiting periods.
ERISA
Large corporations do not have health insurance
policies. Typically they are self
funded, meaning the corporation pays for all of their employee’s medical bills
instead of buying health insurance. Most
of these “self funded” companies are regulated by the federal government under ERISA
(Employee Retirement Income Security Act)
COBRA
In
Cobra Insurance was introduced in 1985. Cobra stands for Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. If you would like more information about your Cobra Insurance options please contact your companies HR department.
Often employees are surprised at the cost of a Massachusetts Cobra Insurance. The reason for this is that they are now responsible for 103% (100% of the premium plus a 3% administration fee) of a monthly health insurance premium when they probably only paid 20% while employed.
Whether nor not to take Cobra is an important question, and you should realize there are alternatives to a Massachusetts Cobra Insurance Policy. One should realize what they plan to do in the future. If you are looking for another job, and it will be a few months before you get a job, it might make sense to look for a Massachusetts Temporary Health Insurance Plan. If you are contemplating working at a consultant, it would be in your best interest to look into a Massachusetts Self Employed Health Insurance Policy.
