Individual and Family Health Plans

Individual and Family Health benefit options vary greatly from group health options and InsuranceCheckRate.com will assist in clarifying the differences. While group health plans are mandated by both state and federal laws requiring specific benefit options to be included such as maternity and a set minimum level of behavioral mental health benefits, individual plans do not have to meet these requirements.

Individual plans may offer a combination of plans:
• First Dollar HMOs, High Benefit PPOs, Low Deductible
Health plans designed to offer a value for consumers.

• High Deductible health plans with Tax Savings Accounts and
Tax Retirement Accounts tied directly to health plans.

• High Deductible plans with office co-pays to minimize
health care costs.

• Combination of the above plans for each family member

Savings on the plans can range from 40-60% from comparative group health plans.

Individual Disability Plans

InsuranceCheckRate.com will provide individual Disability that is available on both a Short Term and Long Term basis to cover and protect income and financial assets of one’s family.

Pricing is determined greatly upon the occupation, age and length of time the benefit is required.

Long Term Disability is also available as Income Replacement will replace a certain dollar amount of coverage for a specific number of years. For example, a specific dollar amount of $2000 per month is required and until the policy holder reaches an age of 65 or older. This plan will have Residual or Part-Time benefits to pay a benefit of a person who is able to work half time or 20 hours per week and the disability plan would pay the other 20 hours per week as an incentive to initiate the policy holder to return to work.

Dental Insurance

Individual Dental Insurance can be creatively catered to meet the need of each person in one’s family by InsuranceCheckRate.com.

Fee for Service Indemnity Plans:

These plan are what historically used by insurance companies with dentists to pay for dental claims. Insurance companies pay a pre established fee called a Usual and Customary fee to the subscriber and the dentists accept payment from the insurance company. If an Dentist charges a high fee than is paid for by the insurance contract, this overage or balance bill is then charged to the subscriber. The subscriber receives a Pre negotiated percentage paid for services, for example 80% for Basic Services.

Dental Health Maintenance Plans (DHMO)

These plans pay a specific co-payment or fee for the service provided. The co-payment is pre negotiated between the insurance company and dentist. As the dentist provides services, the co-payments are accumulated to create a total charge when the total service is complete. Usually a select panel of dentists is used, this panel is much smaller than the Fee for Service dentists that are available and due to this, the DHMO is usually much better priced for the subscriber.

Dental Preferred Provider Organization

These plans operate with a pre established Usual and Customary fee that there is no balance bill passed on to subscriber since the dentists join a PPO panel in order to receive referrals from both the employer and insurance companies. There is significant cost savings to the subscriber since typically a Fee For Service dentist is utilized. Dental service pre negotiated percentages paid for services enhance the benefits for individuals and families.

Pricing of these dental plans is very competitive.
