Find Out What's Covered Under Your Health Plan
Many people don’t really have a clear understanding of what is, and isn’t, covered under health insurance plans. And unfortunately, it’s easy to run into a health issue and be surprised at the wrong time.
Learn more about your policy BEFORE you need it!
1. Make a list of a few procedures that you may need, now or in the future, and call your insurance provider (Medicare, too). Ask if each is covered, and what will be your out-of-pocket cost.
2. Read through your “summary of benefits and coverage,” a document your provider must have available and written in ‘plain English.’ You can find it online in your account, or can ask that it be mailed or emailed to you.
3. Considering an expensive procedure? Your insurance provider should provide a “coverage agreement” that may be hundreds of pages long. You can read it online, and search through it for the name of the procedure (use your browser’s FIND function to find it quickly on the page).
Has your computer suddenly gotten super slow? Do you have a new toolbar on your browser that you don’t remember adding? Or, maybe your search and home pages have changed. Odd pop-ups appearing? You could be experiencing malware symptoms!
Malware is hidden in your computer, unlike a virus, because the designers want their program running unnoticed in the background.

Horse Troubles...
A cowboy had two horses, but he couldn’t tell them apart. He cut off one horse’s mane, but it grew back. He cut off one horse’s tail, but that also grew back. Frustrated, he told his friend about the problem and the friend suggested that he measure them to see which was taller. The cowboy measured them and was relieved. “What a great idea! The black horse was 2 inches taller than the white one and now I’m sure I can tell them apart!”
