Insurance are there?
HMO- Health

of insurance is called managed care.
This means you have certain network of doctors and hospitals in
PPO-Preferred

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 and an out of network charge. If

be 80%. If the in network co-insurance
is 90% then the out of network co-insurance would be 70% Typically Tennessee 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.

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 Tennessee 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 Tennessee
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 Tennessee Cobra Insurance Policy. One should realize what they plan to do in the future.
