How to Get Started on your individual Health Insurance

​As children, we used to be generally afraid of doctors. Visiting a doctor usually meant getting a shot, or being prescribed awful tasting medicine. As we grow older things change; now doctors are an important part of our lives. At this point it is not the shots that make us fearful, it’s the bills that follow them. One way to help with medical expenses though is through insurance. Here are a few things to help you get started with your individual insurance. 

Know Where the Doctors are
If you are reading this chances are you are a young adult who is just about to move out of their parents' house or start yours. That level of independence typically means you will need your health coverage. Still, some parents will let you piggyback on what they already have. Now, before you look for your coverage or decide to stick with what you have answer this first; “where are the doctors  offices and clinics?”

If you are the type of person who only sees insurance as a failsafe for emergencies, then chances are you don’t know the answer. Any insurance coverage will partner up with a number of doctors and clinics to provide their clients care. The concern is their location. How long are the doctors from you should you get very sick in a city or state.  This is what you should consider before getting a new insurance policy. 

Limited Time to Enroll
You already know that you need to get a new insurance plan since you are moving out, that it just one part of the process. With new laws enacted, enrolling for health insurance is not as easy as it once was. Now you have to wait for the enrollment period. During this period you can; choose your first ever plan, pick a plan to replace your current plan, re-enroll your current insurance, or make changes to the plan you have now.
