Brian Stevens: Hi, my name is Brian Stevens, I am a former Insurance Agent and Financial Consultant and I am going to show you how to get an affordable North Carolina health Insurance plan with the top rated company.
The most affordable health insurance plans are called managed health care plans. There are three types of managed health care plans. Health Maintenance Organization Plans or HMOs provide health care for their members through a network of doctors and hospitals. You pay a monthly premium for their services and are responsible for a co-payment for each doctor visit, usually $5 to $10. You must use the doctors and hospitals within your network.
Preferred Provider Organization Plans also provide health care through a network of doctors and hospitals, but instead of paying a monthly premium, you pay for services when you receive them. Co-payments are usually more than with an HMOs. You can see a doctor outside your network for an additional fee.
Point of Service Plans or POSs combine the characteristics of an HMO and a PPO. Like an HMO, you do not pay a deductible and only pay a minimal co-payment. Like a PPO, you may visit a non-network doctor or hospital, but you'll likely have to pay a deductible and a larger co-payment.
In order to get the most affordable plan, you need to do some comparison shopping. You have the option of calling you local agents which can take hours of your time, visiting single-company websites which can also take hours or visiting an insurance comparison website where you'll spend a couple of minutes filling out a simple form in order to get quotes from multiple companies.
The best of these sites have an article section where you can get money-saving tips, and an online chat feature where you can get answers and advice from insurance experts online or by telephone.
