Home Insurance - Have You Read Yours?

Sunday, August 31st, 2003

In perhaps what is to be considered a worrying report by Tesco s, it has been stated that 34% of people have never read their policy documents.

In previous articles I have written on particular topics in relation to this area, such as coverage of garden contents. This is another area being left exposed under some policies.
It is vitally important to know what you re getting when you apply for your premium, as with any insurance policy.

Even more worrying, it is said that a massive 41% of people are unaware of the maximum contents cover of their home. This is certainly shocking news as this is perhaps one of the most important areas that house insurance policies are set out to cover.

The following statistic is perhaps even more unbelievable a rather substantial 36% of people do not know if their home insurance policies individual item limit will offer the level of cover required to replace a highly valued object.

There are many factors to consider when applying for your (more...)

Long Term Care Insurance - Why You Should Get It

Sunday, August 31st, 2003

Long term care insurance is not usually mandatory as far as we know. Therefore, most people do not include it in their insurance budget. While the number of folks who think they should get this policy are much lower than for other policies, its importance is truly much more than most people realize. This article will give you reasons why you could be doing yourself great disservice if you don t get it.

If for any reason most people have to spend any considerable time in a nursing home, they ll literally wipe out their entire life s savings within a year. They ll get medicaid at some point. However, they ll lose total control over their lives. They ll have to be told where to spend their lives. For those who want to have control over where and how they spend their lives, long term care insurance is compulsory.

Using The Right Medical Billing Code For Home Dialysis

Saturday, August 30th, 2003

A simple, but crucial medical billing change has recently occurred. Beginning on October 1, 2005, the Medicare durable medical equipment regional carrier (DMERC) will no longer accept the diagnosis code 585.0. Instead of using ICD-9 585.0, medical billing should be done with the ICD-9 code 585.6 for home dialysis charges.

The code 585.0 means chronic renal failure. This code has now been discontinued and the DMERC will no longer be lenient on the code. The more descriptive code, 585.6 (end stage renal disease) much more accurately describes the diagnosis for home dialysis. It is important that your medical billing staff note this change. Failure to do so will result in unpaid future claims.

Situations like this depict the necessity to hire an outside medical billing firm. Many mistakes can be avoided by hiring one of these companies. Medical billing companies employ highly skilled individuals who are trained, certified, and updated on current medical billing/coding practices. By hiring these (more...)

Health Insurance Coverage

Saturday, August 30th, 2003

Most of the people who are shopping for major medical insurance are concerned about their budget more than the coverage. The premium quoted becomes the deciding factor while choosing medical insurance. It determines the type and extent of the medical insurance they want to purchase. The rates offered for the medical insurance plan depend on the current health, habits, hobbies, and lifestyle of the person looking for insurance. Relatively healthy people are offered lower rates than someone who is suffering from any illness.

Indemnity and managed care medical insurance plans differ in their fundamental approach of providing coverage. Indemnity plans are preferred for the wide choice of doctors allowed which include specialists, such as cardiologists and surgeons. They also provide a comparatively larger range of approved hospitals and other health care providers. Managed care plans do not have as wide a choice as in case of indemnity plans. They usually have tie-ups with certain doctors, hospitals, a (more...)

Friday, August 29th, 2003

As sexist as it may sound, gender sometimes place a significant role in a person s car insurance rates. Women drivers usually get cheaper car insurance rates than men drivers, because statistically, of the two genders, women drivers are more conscientious drivers, who drive safer vehicles, and who file less car insurance claims. Sure, not all women drivers are better drivers than men drivers, but the statistics have spoken loud enough for many of the car insurance companies in America to listen.

However, American car insurance companies are not the only companies that have taken notice and began to offer cheap car insurance policies to women drivers the UK is also offering lower car insurance rates to women drivers. There are many companies and organizations throughout the UK dedicated solely to helping women get cheap car insurance rates, as well as providing car insurance tips and advice to women drivers. A quick search of the Internet will bring up many of these organizations.
