something similar when describing how much they will cover.
Watch out for health insurance policies with:
Monetary limits for each procedure
A long list of procedures that the medical insurance policy will cover
Better health insurance policies will not list dollar amounts for each procedure. They will pay using a formula that is based on what other physicians and hospitals will charge you in the same geographic area. A phrase like “usual and customary” indicates that they use such a formula. The cost of medical care rises so quickly that a dollar amount that seems impressive today may not fully reimburse you even a year from now.
Solid health Insurance policies will not have a long list of procedures that they will cover listed on the policy. The long list seems impressive because the list takes up a lot of space. Look at the statements below. It should be easy to choose between one and two.
”Our health insurance plan will cover you for everything except for expenses caused by self-inflicted injuries and substance abuse.” (“I’ve been to every city in Florida except Orlando.”)
”Our health insurance policy will cover your nose, your ears, your toes, your hands, your right lung, your calf and your knee” (“I’ve been to Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa and Miami Beach”)
