Health Insurance Question Florida FL
Reader’s Question:
I have just relocated to Florida. I am starting my own small business and know that I need to find health insurance. Previously I was covered under my parents plan, but now that I am out of school, that coverage has stopped. I promised my parents that I would make health insurance one of my top priorities. Where do I begin?

Congratulations Cari,
Indeed, this is one of your most exciting time isn’t it? It is a smart move to put a good health insurance plan in place. That will be one less thing to worry about as you pursue your dream. We recommend that you meet with a health care specialist from a local insurance company in Florida. You have probably set a budget and that will determine some of the options you will have to consider. Health insurance has many forms and there will definitely be a plan for you.
Most health insurance plans will call for you to select a primary care physician. This physician will refer you to the specialists you may need. At you age, you may want a general practioner as your primary physician. Make sure your policy allows you to change as your needs change.
Most health insurance coverage clearly defines the pre-existing condition status. Be aware of this rider. You will also want to make sure you understand your plan’s deductibles and that your potential out-of-pocket expenses are perfectly clear.
And, don’t forget about the prescription side of your health insurance. Your agent can explain the differing options of this important rider. Today’s prescriptions are very expensive. Without health insurance and a good prescription plan, the out-of-pocket expenses can be overwhelming.
Begin with these considerations and work with your agent to develop the health insurance coverage that would make your parents proud. Good luck, Cari!
