GETTING THE MOST MILEAGE OUT OF YOUR INSURANCE

Here are some rules that help us when we have domestic insurance coverage. They are also practical for those insured with international coverage.

  1. Pre-certify -- Make sure the insurance company approves the medical care you are requesting.
  2. Be familiar with and use all "Preventive Care" benefits included in your policy.
  3. Keep your account current by mailing your premium in on time or using automatic payment options.
  4. Remember which, if any, of your pre-existing conditions are not covered by your insurance.
  5. Keep detailed records of all medical procedures, receipts for payments, etc. in a file that you up-grade annually.
  6. Only patronize health care providers/services that are listed in your network/provider directory or approved by your carrier.
