Health Insurance
There are two main types of health insurance offered in Atlanta. The first
is group health insurance which is mainly configured for businesses offering
health benefits to their employees. The other is individual health insurance
developed for those who are self-employed or otherwise aren’t offered
health insurance at their place of employement.
Giving rates for health insurance is based off age and health condition.
Not many other factors go into rating so it makes it fast and easy. Actually
getting the policy started is another story. The health insurance companies
ask so many questions about all aspects of your health history it could make
you blush. Answering those questions honestly is critical because giving
false information on your application can give the company cause to deny
claims.
Purchasing a policy individually will cost less than a company purchasing
a policy. For example, a 24 year old non-smoking male who is in good health
can purchase a policy for $89 per month while that same exact 24 year old
will have their employer pay $128 per month in a group health policy. The
reason for this is in a group policy the insurance company has to insure
all on the policy versus an individual policy can be rejected due to risk
or health concerns. The group policy takes more risk so all insured will
pay more overall.
Bankruptcy in Atlanta is caused many times by medical bills and expenses
that extend beyond a household budget. Health insurance can stand between
you and your finanical stability. The cost is usually minimal compared to
possible expenses incurred in case of an accident. Health insurance has become
a common expense to households and businesses.
A group health insurance policy can change the whole tone of an office if
added to the benefits package. In today’s world people are more likely
to work for a company offering health insurance veruses one that doesn’t.
The cost to offer group insurance per individual averages about $230 per
month. The difference in the type of employee that will work more diligently
due to these benefits could outweigh the cost.
