Health insurance in Massachusetts seems to be very expensive...which is the cheapest insurance in ma?

We Answered:

You will be hard pressed to find "cheap health" insurance when you already have health insurance, but you can try CHP, Child health Care Plus, it is available for people based on their income and need. Also, if you are going by the handbook your husband got from insurance company don't. Call them and ask. You may also be able to find a place that will give you a discount based on your ability to pay. Call the county office where you live and ask them what you options have (after you confirm with current insurance company).

I need a family plan for health insurance in MA. Does anyone know of a good one without getting scammed?

We Answered:

My understanding is that six of the big health insurance companies are offering lower-cost plans. The companies are Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, Fallon Community Health Plan, Neighborhood Health and Health New England.

If your family income is less than $30,984 the health insurance is free and is subsidized for a family of four earning less than $61,956 per year.

MA Health Insurance-resources?

We Answered:

Depending on what type of coverage it is (HMO, PPO or Indemnity) it may be limited in what providers are available in your state. Check with the carrier-they probably have a website with providers listed by state. As far as resources for an individual policy, find an Independant agent in your city-they will be able to check with several different companies to get you the type of benefits and coverages you need or want to fit your needs financially as well as medically. Since Cobra is not meant to be long term,(generally it will only cover you for 18 months) you will have to get an individual policy eventually-and don't forget, you may not be able to utilize it in your state anyway. It is always a good idea to take Cobra until you get your new policy so that you are not uninsured if at all possible.
