One of the most complex parts of maintaining your health is navigating health insurance. Health coverage is a must-have for managing the high costs of healthcare, and having the right health insurance plan can help you get the care and services you need without breaking the bank. However, the complexity of insurance lends itself to many myths.
In this article, we’d like to debunk a few common myths about health insurance and share some genuine facts about the importance of health insurance.
- It’s only for “sick” people. If you’re a very healthy person who rarely gets sick or experiences health problems, you may be tempted to skip health insurance coverage. This would be a big mistake, as health insurance is important for everyone regardless of health status. You never know when you’ll face a health emergency, and having health insurance can greatly reduce the stress and exorbitant costs of handling these emergencies.
- You can see any doctor when you have health insurance. Not all doctors are in network with every insurance provider and plan. If working with a specific doctor is important to you, you’ll want to make sure that whatever provider or policy you switch to has this provider in network.
- Even with minor differences, all health insurance plans essentially cover the same things. Health insurance plans differ significantly in what they’ll cover as well as what you can expect to pay for health-related services. When selecting a health insurance plan, you should go over your concerns and priorities for coverage to find the perfect plan for you.
