Brian Stevens: Hi, my name is Brian Stevens. I am a former insurance agent and financial consultant and I want to show you how to get a cheap rate on Maryland health insurance. The state of Maryland offers a number of government sponsored health insurance programs. These programs include Maryland's medical assistant program or medicaid for low income families, children, pregnant woman, women with breast or cervical cancer, the elderly, and people who are blind or disabled. Maryland's Children's Health Program MCHP for uninsured children over the age of 19 whose family income is less than 200% of the federal poverty level.
Maryland's Children's Health Program premium MCHP for uninsured children under the age of 19 whose family income is more than 200% to less than 300% of the federal poverty level.
Maryland's Primary Adult Care Program PAC for low income individuals 19 or older who are not on medicare and who don't quality for Medicaid. In Maryland's family planning program, for women who have lost their medicaid coverage after being covered for a pregnancy under MCHP. To find out if you are eligible for any of these programs, go to the Maryland department of health website at www.dhmh.state.md.us and click on healthcare programs. If you are not eligible for any of Maryland's state health insurance programs, you can still get inexpensive health insurance through a private care. You have two basic types of plans, indemnity plans and managed healthcare plans.
Indemnity plans want to choose your own doctors and hospitals but they are much more expensive than managed healthcare plans. Managed healthcare plans such as HMOs and PPOs, assign you to a network of doctors and hospitals you must use for your medical needs and are the cheapest healthcare plans. The best way to get a cheap Maryland health insurance rate is to comparison shop and the easiest way to do that is to get quotes from an insurance comparison website. It's quick, it's easy and it's free.
