“Always hire a professional." This advice holds true for buying health insurance as well. For some the choice is easy, take what the employer provides and hope it suffices. However, for those purchasing health insurance privately, there are a number of issues to be weighed. Blue Cross Blue Shield is a major health insurance provider in this country and has a plan to suit most every individual and family. Knowing the differences in the plans will be a deciding factor in the specific plan you choose. For help in making these determinations, it is best to consult a professional and experienced insurance agent. Generally, the first issue is money. What can you afford, and will that be sufficient for the needs of you and your family? The Options Plan offered by BCBS is the most economical pick. This BCBS plan has a high deductable but lower premiums. For qualifying members the plan can result in greater savings as a Health Savings Plan provides some medical expenses tax free. Members can choose their own doctor, and there are options for those under 65 and medically eligible. This BCBS Option Plan offers flexibility for the changing dynamics of a family. Your independent insurance agent is prepared to help you decide if this is the right plan for you. Another issue to be considered is age. Medicare is beneficial to those 65 years and older, but it does not cover all medical expenses. Medicare Supplemental insurance is a must to provide full coverage and peace of mind. BCBS offers Blue Medicare Supplemental Insurance for people in this category. BCBS offers nine different supplemental plans. The details for each vary, and once again, your insurance professional can help you fully understand the options. The last factor is flexibility. Many people find that they are most comfortable with the BCBS Blue Advantage Plan. This is a PPO plan and provides the greatest accessibility to the best doctors, specialist, and hospitals. There are no referral limitations. There are benefits to insure well care for family members. Benefits, deductibles, and premiums vary considerably depending on the options you choose. Much of the information needed to make these determinations is available online from Osborn Insurance Services, Inc, of North Carolina. Log on, do some homework; then call a qualified BCBSNC agent to help you make this all important decision for continuing health care. BCBS of NC provides the experience you can trust.
