If you are searching for a Colorado individual health insurance plan, you may be running into several companies that just want to sell you a "cookie cutter" premium plan, but not all customers need that type of plan. What many people do not know is that most Colorado health insurance companies offer several different price points, based on the amount of risk you are willing to take.
One advantage to buying individual health insurance is you don’t need to buy a pre-packaged plan like the ones offered by most employers. You can fully customize a plan to meet your needs. If you are self-employed and relatively healthy, look for a plan that allows you the flexibility to pay lower premiums in exchange for higher deductibles. This type of insurance can save you thousands of dollars per year. The only risk is that you will be responsible for either high premiums or co-insurance if you are hospitalized.
Co-insurance is where you and your health insurer split the cost of your healthcare based on predetermined percentages. With this type of plan, you might be responsible for 20% of the total bill, with the plan paying the remaining 80%, but each plan is different so be sure to read the fine print.
Deductibles are an agreed-upon amount of money you must pay out of your pocket before your health insurance kicks in. With some of the lower priced Colorado health plans, you may be responsible for the first $500 to $1,000.
If you opt for a Health Savings Plan on top of a low-cost/high deductible policy, you can put money aside; pre-tax, to help you cover the cost of high deductibles or co-insurance.
