If you think you might lose your job soon, or you just have, some people will recommend that you pick up a healthcare survival guide. Such guides attempt to explain your coverage options and how to apply for government healthcare assistance and programs. But, are these guides really useful?
Cinergy Health, recommends that you consider for yourself the type of coverage that you’ll need. While a healthy 25 year old might be alright with a catastrophic insurance plan with a high deductible, a 55 year old with a pre-existing condition probably would not.
These guides do offer some helpful tips and advice. Cinergy Health says that you should certainly look at pharmaceutical web sites for discount offers and get inexpensive dental coverage with college dental programs. You may also be able to get discounts from your doctors, if these are doctors you’ve seen for a long time.
