Individual Health Insurance or Family Insurance?

You may probably know that you need to find the most cost effective plan when you are seeking for insurance. I can tell you that it is also true for health insurance. When you are considering such thing, you basically have too choice. You can go for an individual health insurance plan. You can also take a plan which also covers your family members. Which one is more cost effective? That’s the question.

In most cases, individual health insurance is much cheaper. Therefore, you will probably choose this if you would have not much budget. However, you still have to consider a various details. For example, some plans with small premium will not let you choose your own doctor. Instead you have to choose in the list of doctors the insurance company has. Of course there are always plans which can let your choose your own doctor. The chance is the premium will be higher in this case.

On the other hand a plan which covers more than one person will be more expensive that an individual health insurance. Without any surprise, it will be more expensive if you need a plan which covers more people. Yet it may still be cheaper than each of the people going for an individual health insurance.

Usually, a plan covering all the family members will be similar to an individual plan. It will probably include x-ray and lab services, medications, surgery and so on. However, you have to read the policies carefully before you make the final decision. The plan should be catering for your needs otherwise there is no point to purchase the insurance.

So, how do you make your choice? In fact, you need to consider your budget and again the cost effectiveness of the choices. Besides, you also have to consider the members in your family. You may choose to have an individual health insurance if you are the only smoker in your family. However, you may make a different choice if all your family members are smokers!
