Senior medical insurance
If your
employer does not offer group insurance, or if the insurance offered
is very limited, you can buy an individual senior medical insurance.
You can get fee for service, HMO, or PPO protection. But you should
compare your senior medical insurance options and shop carefully because
coverage and costs vary from company to company. Individual plans may
not offer benefits as broad as those in group plans. If you get a non-cancellable
policy then you will receive individual insurance under that policy
as long as you keep paying the monthly premium. The insurance company
can raise the cost, but cannot cancel your coverage. Many companies
now offer a conditionally senior medical insurance. This means that
the insurance company can cancel all policies like yours, not just yours.
This protects you from being singled out. But it doesn't protect you
from losing coverage.

information
Senior medical
insurance. There are two kinds of fee-for-service coverage, basic
and major medical. Basic protection pays toward the costs of a hospital
room and care while you are in the hospital. Senior medical insurance
should cover some hospital services and supplies, such as x-rays and
prescribed medicine. Basic coverage also pays toward the cost of surgery,
whether it is performed in or out of the hospital, and for some doctor
visits. Major medical insurance takes over where your basic coverage
leaves off. It covers the cost of long, high cost illnesses or injuries.
Some senior medical policies combine basic and major medical coverage
into one plan. This is sometimes called a "comprehensive plan."
Check yoursenior medical insuranceto make sure you have both kinds
of protection.
Senior medical insurance
Americans age 65 or older and people with certain disabilities can be covered under Medicare, a Federal health insurance program.
In many parts of the country, people covered under Medicare now have a choice between managed care and indemnity plans. They also can switch their plans for any reason. However, they must officially tell the plan or the local Social Security Office, and the change may not take effect for up to 30 days. Call your local Social Security office or the State office on aging to find out what is available in your area.
