Kansas health insurance quotes are easy to find and probably cost less than you think. Read on to find out how you can find the cheapest health insurance possible.
The Problem of the Uninsured
About 293,700 Kansans do not have health insurance. That means about 13 percent of Kansas residents lack affordable access to regular health care. More than half work full-time but do not have insurance available through their employers.
Finding Cheap Insurance
If you're among those searching for an affordable health insurance policy in Kansas, be sure that you look at all the types of policies available. Traditional insurance that pays all your medical expenses, but is very expensive, is only one of your choices.
Consider such options as ...
* An HMO (Health Maintenance Organization), PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) or POS (Point of Service plan). With these types of plans, you give up some of your choice in selecting health care providers in exchange for lower premiums
* A Major Medical policy that covers only major accidents and illnesses
* A Health Savings Plan that allows you to save tax-free dollars for your medical/health expenses
* A High-Deductible policy, which covers all your medical expenses after you reach the deductible amount
Some other ways you can lower the cost of your health insurance include:
* Shopping around. Get at least three quotes from an insurance comparison website so you can compare costs and benefits. Choose a website that includes a chat feature, in case you have any questions (see link below).
* Checking to see if any organizations or clubs you are a member of offer group insurance at reduced rates.
* Maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Some insurers offer discounts to non-smokers. In addition, losing excess weight and getting your blood pressure and cholesterol under control may help you qualify for lower rates.
