Six Tips to Help Save Money on Health Insurance

Affordable health insurance is elusive.  The time it takes to find the right plan may consume the average consumer on average for a total of 7 days.  A+ Top Rated Insurance can save you the headache.  Here are some useful tips on how you can save money on health insurance.

1. Shop around- To get the best available coverage at a price you can afford, you need to comparison shop.  A broker is licensed by your state to provide insurance expertise when it comes to finding a health insurance plan that is right for you.  Also, a broker must work in the best interest of their client, not the insurance companies.  Choose a broker that you feel comfortable with.  Make sure you are both on the same level when it comes to understanding what you are looking for.  After finding a few plans that may work for you, take into consideration the limitations and exclusions with each policy.  Determine which plan works best for you.

2. Cut the costs of your prescriptions-  Ask for generic prescriptions in place of name brand if available.  Also, when your doctor is prescribing a specific drug, ask if there is a less expensive alternative that works just the same.  By working closely with your doctor, you should be able to save money each year on prescriptions.  

3.  Practive prevention- Many people realize the advantage of maintaining a health lifestyle.  Develop an excercise routine, join the local support group to stop smoking.  Eat right, and eat healthy.  Don't get discouraged if you fail your first try....look how many times it took to invent the light bulb! 

4.  Take advantage of free health clinics and screening- Your health plan may offer wellness programs and health check-ups, take advantage of them.  Go to your local health fair to have free pre-screenings for dangerous health related issues.  Prevention is better than poor planning.

5. Keep track of your medical expenses- Keep a running total of what you pay at your doctor's office.  Also keep track of your prescription drugs, hearing aids, vision needs, and dental information.  After a year, look back at your expenses.  This will help you determine which plan will meet your needs. 

6. Consider putting money into your HSA if you have one- The money you put into an HSA may be 100% tax deductible.  Take advantage of that.  Check with your local state regulations to see if you qualify.
