Will Patients Have More Choices in ObamaCare Insurance?

Insurance PlansThe answer is YES. Insurance companies are flocking to the ObamaCare exchanges as they now see it as a money-making opportunity.

In 10 states, there are 27 new insurance companies that will offer ObamaCare plans.  This is a significant improvement from 2014.  Major insurers simply cannot afford to sit on the sidelines when 8 million Americans signed up for ObamaCare.

What does that mean for patients?  

More choices in where they can get their healthcare.

In the past, patients got referrals from their primary care doctors or their local hospitals.  They often just went to the closest physician or hospital.  OR the doctor who was referred to them.  Patients did very little research in selecting their doctor or hospital.

With more insurance options, patients will have more choices.  Additionally, patients are getting more tools to research their doctors to determine which one is best for them.

With healthcare reform, doctors and other healthcare providers must  “win” the patient and “keep them.”  As a patient, make sure your healthcare provider is offering the following:

  1. Great customer service
  2. Convenient evening and weekend hours
  3. Availability for questions via new forms of technology
  4. A patient portal where patients can get information about their care; and
  5. Compliance with current laws and regulations!

If your doctor doesn’t meet your standards, it’s never too late to find another provider who will better suit your needs.

Choosing An Assisted Living Facility: Part 1 VIDEO

What led Lori-Ann Rickard to start writing ebooks about healthcare? It all started when her father, who was living independently his whole life, underwent surgery causing him to lose his independence. Lori-Ann learned at every turn that choosing an assisted living facility takes a lot of work, communication, and coordination. Most importantly, she found out that there is no perfect answer. This video is for anyone who needs a “roadmap” like Lori-Ann did; a tool to consider much more than the obvious questions of location and cost.
