Publisher's Synopsis
In a recent survey, more than fifty percent of respondents reported feeling "completely lost" in trying to understand health insurance. The thing that confuses them the most? Figuring out what counts toward their deductible, what procedures are covered, and what constitutes in- or out-of-network care. Other studies have shown that 1 in 4 people have put off a medical procedure because they were not sure what their insurance covered. When people put off diagnosis, treatment, or procedures, it makes conditions more difficult to manage and treat, costs everyone more, and could even be fatal. Health Insurance in America; a consumer's guide is the first of it's kind. It explains health insurance in a way that is easy to understand, and if full of real-life examples and practical tips. This book should be part of everyone's library.
