Self employed medical insurance
What
happens if you or your family member leaves the job? You will lose your
employer-supported group coverage and may opt for self employed medical insurance.
It may be possible to keep the same self employed policy, but you will
have to pay for it yourself. This will certainly cost you more than
group coverage for the same, or less, protection. A Federal law makes
it possible for most people to continue their group health coverage
for a period of time after they leave their employer. Called COBRA (for
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985), the law
requires that if you work for a business of 20 or more employees and
leave your job or are laid off, you can continue to get health insurance
coverage for at least 18 months. You will be charged a higher premium
than when you were working.

The differences
among fee-for-service plans, self employed medical insurance, HMOs, and PPOs
are not as clear cut as they once were. Fee for service plans have adopted
some activities used by HMOs and PPOs to control the use of medical
services. And self employed medical insurance, HMOs and PPOs are offering
more freedom to choose doctors, the way fee-for-service plans do. By
studying your self employed medical insurance options carefully, you will
be able to pick the one that provides you with the coverage you need,
no matter what it is called.
Self employed medical insurance
If you are self-employed or if your company does not offer group policies, you may need to buy individual health insurance. Individual policies cost more than group policies.
Some organizations such as unions, professional associations, or social or civic groups offer health plans for members. You may want to talk to an insurance broker, who can tell you more about the indemnity and managed care plans that are available for individuals. Some States also provide insurance for very small groups or the self-employed.
