Primary vs. secondary coverage: What to do when you have two health plans - 1 views

  •  
    According to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index as of February 2014, even with the Affordable Care Act, which mandates that practically all Americans have health insurance, 15.9 percent of Americans lack coverage, Axis Capital, a group of companies with branch offices in Bermuda, Australia, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Singapore and the United States and has been also servicing SE countries such as KL Malaysia, Bangkok Thailand, Jakarta Indonesia and many more, Imagine being a person with not just one but then two health plans, may sometimes sound like a fraud. This double coverage can take place in many ways: * An adult child may be covered under a parent's plan, which must be permissible until age 26, and likewise has a job with workplace advantages.  * An employee may take his or her company's health plan and likewise be enrolled under a spouse's plan at the spouse's workplace. * Simply, a scam! Possessing two health plans doesn't mean you get reimbursed twofold instead of one. Warning! There are a few disadvantages to what, on the surface, appears like health insurance heaven: * Double coverage frequently means you're paying for redundant coverage. * You need to make your claim with your "primary" plan first. The additional plan can pick up the tab for whatsoever not covered, but it won't pay something heading the primary plan's deductible.  * If both plans have deductibles, you'll have to fee both before coverage kicks in.

Choosing Your Health Care - 1 views

    You may still have the chance to renew your existing health insurance plan or buy a new plan with the open enrollment which ran from November 15, 2014 until February 15, 2015. Axis Capital Holding Group Ltd, a group of insurance companies with branches in Europe, America, Singapore and Jakarta, Indonesia with their main office located at Bermuda has collected some tips for you to review and consider. Old-timer For those who already have their healthcare insurance or Health Management Organization (HMO) but are considering whether to renew it or not, you may consider which company has the best coverage. You may ask your potential insurer the following questions: 1. Will your drug prescription be covered? 2. Will I have to pay each time I see the doctor or go to the hospital for consultation? 3. What will my monthly premium be for 2015? If you have any questions about what changes your plan may make to your coverage in 2015, contact your insurer directly. Once you have taken the time to review any changes to your insurance plan, if you decide you want to keep the same plan, and your household income has not changed, you don't have to do anything. Your plan will be automatically renewed. However, you may want to spend some time looking at plan choices to see if there is a better plan to meet the needs of you and your family. If you qualified for reduced premiums last year, we recommend you log into www.healthcare.gov to update and double-check your income information, as that will ensure you receive the correct tax credit amounts. Newbie In browsing for the best insurance plan, you should also get an assessment which health insurance suited you the most. Think about how often you will be using your insurance coverage, how many times you get a check-up, whether you go see a certain specialist, your drug intake, whether you need specific therapy or which hospital or clinic you often go to. Here are the three factors that may

Study discovers connection between insurance type and treatment for stroke patients - 1 views

  •  
    University of Florida researchers have discovered a link between Medicare and patient access to surgical treatment for subarachnoid hemorrhage, a kind of stroke that affects as many as 30,000 Americans each year - frequently causing death or long-term impairment and disability. AXIS Capital, a group of companies with branch offices in Bermuda, Australia, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Singapore and the United States, a global insurer and reinsurer, providing clients and distribution partners with a broad range of specialized risk transfer products and services, has in full support with this study. (The company also services SE Asian countries such as KL Malaysia, Bangkok Thailand, Jakarta Indonesia and many more.) According to findings published in the journal PLOS ONE, for patients who have suffered this type of stroke, surgical intervention can spell the difference between recovery or long-term disability and death, yet patients on Medicare are less likely than those with private insurance to be referred for surgical treatment. This may represent a conscious or unconscious bias against Medicare patients, who are typically older and have preexisting disabilities or chronic illnesses, said Azra Bihorac, M.D., senior author of the study and an associate professor of anesthesiology, medicine and surgery at the UF College of Medicine. "Not every hospital has skilled neurosurgeons who specialize in subarachnoid hemorrhage," Bihorac said. "If these hospitals don't have the necessary expertise, then they may actually overestimate the risk of a bad prognosis. They may assume that the patient won't do well anyway, so they won't proceed with surgery." The researchers review and analyzed data from the National Inpatient Sample hospital discharge database for the study. The data consist of information on more than 21,000 adult patients released from 2003 to 2008 with a diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage. About 62 percent of the participants were fem
