Peace of mind is an abstract term...one person thinks if you have 1Mil coverage, u get peace of mind..one person thinks if he has just 100K coverage, he gets peace of mind...its relative term... In Insurance terms, what peace of mind u are gonna miss if u select high deductible?? NOTHING...just for 5-10K u lose peace of mind? I DONT THINK SO.. EVEry insurance policy is same other than deductible and co-insurance...If you are paying 50$ per month does not mean u are rejected for urgent care or something...hope u understand what is peace of mind.. |

pointee... ...but actually there are several folks who hesitate to take insurance... but high and low deductible ante, it simply a matter of affordability....5000 ded. and 10000 ded. ki just oka 30 dollars difference vuntundi monthly....but 500 and 1000 ki oka 150 vuntundi...thread mottham chadavaledu, others might have given better replies but if you estimate more number of visits, lower ded. is useful...especially if you are visiting specialists. |

Twitter, It all comes down to peace of mind, especially if you have kids. There is no way you can possibly correctly predict what might happen to your health in coming days. Its just like car insurance. You might have impeccable driving record, but accidents happen without your control. Same with health. A simple surgery like appendectomy can cost around 15k in this country. So whatever you saved for a year will vanish in a single day. The risk increases with more family members. HSA sounds good, but there are some limitations to it. It wont cover all medical conditions and surgeries. Do some research. Don't think in terms of wasting money- you are just buying your peace of mind, anthe. There are tons of cases where people went bankrupt because they didn't have good health insurance. Unfortunately, its the trade-off for living in this country. Health care has always been a controversial topic, thats why it takes top priority in presidential debates. Monthly oka 300-500 dollars manavi kaavu anukovaaali anthe. |

I went with low deductible high premium. Out of pocket thakkuva, that means, after tax income thakkuva pay cheyaali. I was in the same boat, but even though everyone was doing good, just to get through the first year, i went the above option and proved to be very helpful for ME. |

Do u know every health scheme is same if the health cost is more than 10K? for eg, 50$ per month pay chesey vaadiki , 500$ per month pay chesetodiki same expenses vuntai if there is a 100K hospital bill..only difference is 50$ pay chesetodu has to pay 5-10K out of pocket kattali...500$ pay chesetodu 2-3K out of pocket kattali...thats it..
Biriyani:we are earnign enough already and why to take a risk in saving few extrathousand dollors per year...
This is what I am saying, u are earning enough...why worry for 5-10K if something happens to You? invest on ur body if something happens,,why depend on insurance company antunna |

Andhrawala:There will be max limit for Out of pocket expenses. afte rthat it is covered full
yeah max ante until you reach your deductible ye kadha not beyond that, is there any other catch here, but after reaching your deductible there will be co-insurance again , it could be 50-50, 70-30, 20-80 . ee co-insurance is common for any plan anukunta . |

Twitter: adhe antunna .. kaani naa doubt entante high premium is nothing but paying your deductible within monthly premium amount ? if that is the case its better to pay whenever it is really necessary (High deductible) kadha ?
HighPremiumLow deductible works good if u have ongoing prescription needs for u,wife or kids If u dont have any of them go for Low Premium High deductible. Twitter:ets say plan 1 -LPHD- 750/month with 5000 deductible - per annum cost =14000 plan 2 -HPLD -1400/month with 500 deductible - per annum cost = 16800 plan 1 lo oka vist vesthe aa month cost 750 + 350 doc fees(lets say) =1050 aa month cost..monthly expenses are lesser than plan 2. kaani more than one vist vesina ..mana deductible 5k dhaatinaka its same as plan 2 .. I dont understand how plan2 is better than plan1 as so many saying.
It will vary. maree inthaa laa aithee it will Heads I win, Tails u loose annttuvuntundhii. Insurance companies are giving low cost alternatives to consumer. at teh sametime they will save their skin. so if u go for low cost premium, after deductible it wont be same. There will be max limit for Out of pocket expenses. afte rthat it is covered full No Signature |

Twitter: idhi eppudu confusione ..kaani my understanding on this is if your deductible is 5K , lets say you visit doctor for sick , he charges you $300 for his services , then you have to pay that $300 out of pocket because you have not reached your deductible yet , so ippudu $300 kattesav (5000-300) 4700 inka undhi aa year lo. aa 4700 reach ayye dhaaka nuvve kattukovali ..aa tharvaatha insurance start paying .
300 is the bill for ur services. But Insurance ki agreed amount ani with dicount arnd $120 vuntundhi and u pay that amount only. So in a very healthy year u will just pay fraction of the amoubnt No Signature |

Insurance experts Inputs please ..
Do ur Homewqork properly. Logon to ur Insurance website online account and see how much u & ur insurance paid for the healthcare claims If ur usage is low, go for high deductible and low premiums. If u dont have any ongoing prescription, go for HSA instead of dumping that money as Ins premium. HSA money will go on from 1year to another year and it will be urs allways No Signature |
