From well-baby checks and vaccinations to ear infections and strep throats, kids spend a lot of time at the doctor’s office - even healthy kids. That is why you need health insurance for your child. How can you get the best rate for health insurance for your child? Here's how ... Your Health Insurance Options If you're lucky, your employer will offer health insurance you can purchase that will cover you and your family. Alternatively, you may qualify for public health insurance programs offered through the government. But if your employer doesn’t offer insurance and you don’t qualify for public insurance, you'll need to purchase private health insurance for your child. Find the Best Rates Private health insurance can be expensive. To help you get the best rate for your child health insurance, visit an insurance comparison website. On such a website, you can complete one simple form and get fast quotes from multiple A-rated health insurance companies. The best websites even let you talk with insurance professionals online so you can ask questions and make sure you choose the best health insurance for your child. (See link below.) Compare Plans Once you have quotes from multiple health insurance companies, you can compare them to find out which is the best for your child. In addition to looking at which company offers the lowest rate, consider the following questions: * Does the insurance cover well-baby and well-child visits and regular vaccinations? * Does the insurance offer basic coverage only (hospitalization and inpatient /outpatient surgery), or does it also cover such items as doctor visits, preventative care, and prescriptions. * Are dental and vision coverage included? * What is the deductible and co-pay? * Does your preferred doctor and hospital accept this insurance? * Are there any limits on how much the insurance company will pay annually or over your child’s lifetime? * If your child has any pre-existing conditions, will this insurance company cover treatment for it?
