What kind of health insurance do I need?

We Answered:

I don't understand how you could be discontinued for medicaid for being 21. Do you mean you were taken off your parents medicaid when you became of age? because if that is the case then you should be able to apply for your own. If not you can check into using the health department, they charge according to your income, and in some cases it is completely free.

Do I need health insurance for cosmetic surgery ?

We Answered:

You can get surgery without health insurance. Health Insurance would pay for medication after the surgery & would cover your medical bills shuld there be an infection resulting from the surgery.

Do I need health insurance to register with a doctor in Amsterdam?

We Answered:

Hi

Yes I am afraid you will need health insurance as they will bill the insurance company for any visits/procedures. As it is mandatory in the Netherlands for all residents to have it, then it might be a bit risky to admit you don't have it

I have different insurance because of the coverage with my husband (working for an International Organisation) and the doctors bill me directly, and I then I pay them and get it re-embursed. However they still require proof of insurance upon registration (I moved withnin NL at the end of last year so had to go through the procedure again)

I don't know what the E128 so I looked and it is on the basis of the EHIC, and this entitles you to emergency cover only and a smear test won't be covered by this. http://www2.shu.ac.uk/hosted/virtx/VX2/l…

You could of course try to contact a couple of doctors and see if they will bill you directly for the work (e.g. saying you haven't got the insurance yet but are arranging it) and then you have to pay the bills for it. However I do think there is a big risk here as I mentioned

If you check the official site http://www.minvws.nl/en/folders/z/2008/o… then it confirms "You must take out health insurance within 4 months after you move to the Netherlands. If you do not do this within 4 months, you will be fined and you will have to pay all your medical expenses yourself".

So there is a risk of a fine which is not what you want.

If you want to look for a policy and understand a little Dutch, then you can check this site to find the best (cheapest) one for you http://www.kiesbeter.nl/Zorgverzekeringe…

I live in california and I need health insurance for both my son and me, where can I get coverage?

We Answered:

Use yellowpages.com to search for health insurance brokers in your area. A Broker represents multiple carriers and can help you sort through all the different insurance companies and plan options in your state.

Don't call your auto and home agent they specialize in property and causality insurance. You need someone that specializes in health insurance. These areas of insurance even require separate licenses.

I have seen plenty of dental plans that pay out more than they cost. For example for a dental plan that cost $32 per month you get two free cleanings per year and up to $1,500 in benefits for fillings and surgery. If you go to the dentist and have your teeth cleaned every 6 months you will come out ahead.

You don't need insurance for that, you will just have to pay for all expenses out of pocket.

Need health insurance for a 24 yo female and infant in Florida?

We Answered:

Well, for the baby, you should check with the state Children's Health Insurance Program. But for you, it's going to be about $250 a month, unless you want a major medical policy - with a high deductible - then it will be about half that.
