How to Escape Health Insurance Fraud

Monday, February 23rd, 2004

There are many attractive insurance services and offers made by the people in the insurance business these days. Sometimes we do get the benefits they state in their policy, but at other times we become a victim of their fraud. Health insurance is one field in which you need to be very careful before choosing an appropriate insurance company. Most people buy these so-called insurance policies and are not even aware of the fact that they have been deceived until they file a claim for their health charges to be covered under that policy and find out that that company doesn t even exist.

It s important to do a little investigation before you sign up with a health insurance company. This way you can prevent yourself from becoming a victim of health insurance fraud. One way to spot a fraudulent business is to see how much they are asking as down-payment. If it seems very low as compared to the cost of other insurance services, stop here.

Are You Eligible for Medicaid?

Sunday, February 22nd, 2004

When you reach the age of 65 or become disabled, you are eligible for Medicare, but when are you eligible for Medicaid? Medicaid eligibility, unlike Medicare s, is not automatic.

Medicaid is a government funded health insurance program like Medicare. The difference is that Medicaid is intended for people with low incomes, financial hardships, and certain medical and mental disabilities. Medicare is a program like Social Security that is really the right of every citizen to enjoy because they helped pay for it during their working life. Medicaid is a social welfare program intended to give aid to the poor and less fortunate citizens.

The Medicaid program is not funded entirely by the Federal Government, nor is it administered exclusively by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The individual State governments share in the administration and in the funding. In some cases, local communities are involved in the funding process. Each State was given the option to participate in (more...)

Not All In Texas Understand The Nature Of Their Benefit Plans

Saturday, February 21st, 2004

So you have benefits. But what does that really mean?

For people living in Texas, and especially in cities like Dallas, Houston and Austin, the question deserves some attention. It s especially the case when considering that a good number of people may not fully understand what either their employer is delivering as part of a comprehensive benefits package, or, in the case of someone who is paying at least a portion of their own benefits coverage, what they are getting for their hard-earned dollars.

Benefits aren t cheap. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it costs an employer roughly 30% of full-time payroll to cover benefits and that s a percentage that continues to rise with healthcare costs, which most people think about first when considering benefits.

Employees who have benefits - - including health insurance — should be aware of what they have, whether they re paying for it or not. One key point is to not assume you have coverage. Even if the insurance plan is g (more...)

Insurance and The Engineer

Saturday, February 21st, 2004

The world is no longer right when the two words, Engineer and Insurance are used together, side by side in a conversation. Individually they are words that justify their use, with their own explanations and own meanings as those that compile dictionaries see fit! They each serve their own purpose until such a time as when they are used in the same sentence or even on the same page. Engineer and Insurance cannot be used together anymore, yes there was a time when this topic had no base but here and today it can be seen that the words are not in any sense synonymous with each other.

The dictionary tells us that, insurance is “a thing providing protection against a possible event” or “money paid to insure against something or by an insurance company in the event of damage, injury, etc”. Well, that tells us something although it is a bit confusing.

The dictionary tells us that an Engineer is “a person qualified in Engineering” and also it says that an Engineer (more...)
