You can buy an individual private health insurance plan from an insurance company that you feel you can trust. Depending on the plan, you can consider including dental coverage in the policy. In your case, the main consideration is affordability. How much are you willing to pay for your healthcare needs? If all three of you are still considerably young, and generally healthy, you can also opt to buy a catastrophic insurance policy. This type of policy covers only major illnesses, and usually has low premiums. So the money you save can be used to pay for occasional visits to the doctors. If you want your private health insurance plan to pay for doctors’ visits, drug prescriptions, preventive healthcare, and maternity coverage then consider the affordability of the monthly premiums. Check also if you can afford the deductible and co-pay amounts. If you want to learn more about private health insurance plans, check the websites of health insurance companies. You can also discuss your options with a health insurance agent. Verify what each health plan covers or not. Learn more about deductibles and co-pays, and how you can use the services of hospitals and doctors that belong in a network. Together with the insurance agent, try to come up with a proposal that will best fit your budget and family’s general health condition. I am a licensed agent in 7 states.
