There are many factors to consider before selecting a medical plan. While many people have coverage through an employer, you may pay for your own medical insurance. Either way, you want the best options you can afford, including prescription, medical, and emergency care, such as ambulance transportation. Ask your Nieroda Insurance Agency representative for more information. In the meantime, here are some tips to get you started selecting your medical insurance in Saint Charles, MO.

General Practitioner Coverage

Some healthcare policies have a pre-approved network of doctors. If you want to keep your current physician, check whether they accept the health care plan you’re purchasing. To choose a new doctor, check out the directory provided by your insurer or ask for a recommendation.

Refer to the American Medical Association for reviews and complaints. Make sure the office hours match your availability.

Emergency and Hospital Care

Figure out what hospitals and emergency rooms your plan covers. It’s important to check the fine print on this portion of your coverage since various plans have unique definitions of what constitutes an emergency. Something that seems obvious to you may not be covered, for example. 

Prescription Drugs

Prescription drugs can be very expensive to pay out of pocket. If you have a monthly prescription, you need to choose a health care plan that covers that. Also, consider whether the coverage is mail order or pick up from a pharmacy and choose the plan that best suits your requirements.
