Insurance can come in a variety of forms. It is something you buy that you hope will protect you and your family in a truly catastrophic time. You faithfully pay on your policies month after month, but when something happens, and you really need it to bail you out, you are often in for a big surprise. You suddenly find out that it doesn't cover all that you thought it did. Here is a look at the different kinds that are available.
One of the types of coverage that is on the news every day concerns your health and the health of your family. The government is trying to force this type of policy on every American citizen. A large majority of people have group policies where they work.
Right now there are three kinds of policies you can choose from for health coverage. The top coverage gives you the privilege of choosing the doctor and hospital you want to use. It is expensive because it covers any type of medical expense.
Another type provides you with a list of approved providers, but allows you to choose which one to use. If the provider recommends some type of test or medicine, the Preferred Provider Option will cover it.
Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) are the most restrictive type. They are, also, the cheapest. The patient is assigned a primary care physician who will decide what treatment is necessary. The HMO has to approve the treatment he recommends, and they can refuse his recommendation if they think it is too expensive.
Coverage that covers your life is another well-known type of policy. The owner of the policy has to designate a beneficiary that will collect the money upon his death. This type of policy is to provide money for the policy holder's burial and any outstanding debts he may have. It may leave money to help tide the family over for a time.
Liability coverage on every car you own is required by state law. There are three types of coverage you can purchase. One covers the people in the other car, one is to repair your car after an accident and the third one covers the passengers in your car if anyone is injured.
Homeowners often want a policy that will cover any damage that happens to their home. These policies can, also, cover items stolen from your home, damage done by vandals and damage from most natural disasters. It is never necessary to insure the land that the house actually sits on. The cost of these policies is determined by the different things you want the policy to cover.
If you decide to purchase a basic homeowner's policy, you need to be aware of the fact that it won't cover the items inside of your home. If you want them to be covered, you will have to ask your agent to add an additional clause to the policy that states they are included. You will need to choose to cover the cost of replacement or the value they had when they were damaged.
An honest examination of the needs of your family and your personal financial standing is necessary to determine the kinds of insurance you need. The only type of policy that is required by law is liability coverage on your car. - 33372
