Low Cost & Limited Budget
|
· Chose from a series of plans one with
frill/s coverage removed for lowered premium cost
· Groups can have plans tailored in design to meet company
budget and coverage limits
· Some locally available plans can provide basic protection
and also fit within one's budget
Most International Medical Insurance and HealthCare plan companies
offer a series of plans with varying limits of coverage. Usually a
plan within the series and can be stripped of optional frills and
end up being a "Low Cost & Limited Budget " plan. Removed "frills"
of medical plans can be items as out-patient, dental, maternity, vision,
medivac, personal accident, hospital cash, organ transplants and others.
People choose low-cost plans for various reasons including a desire
to self-insure specific areas of medical treatments. They are willing
to accept sizable deductibles, co-insurance and co-pay. Buyers also
believe the lower plan limits are adequate in the country they now
live in. They may have national HealthCare benefits back home and
only need limited cover while overseas. Some expect to buy travel
insurance when visiting a higher-costing area of the world. Others
simply have a budget that can not be exceeded.
Plan companies will even tailor-make a budget plan for a sizable group
of people to supplement self-insured company medical benefits or to
meet minimum requirements set out in the employee's working contract
or collective bargaining agreement. Budget medical plans can be referred
to as "Standard", "Major Medical" or "Basic". Some plan companies
offer options to remove selected items of cover from regular plans
for a discount in premium rate. Plan companies try to sell only their
brochure-illustrated plans and any modifications must be specifically
asked for. They do not openly advertise such modified plans due to
the work involved in getting final approvals of such from their associated
underwriters.
A few companies only sell low-cost and limited plans. They prefer
to avoid insuring to higher levels that buyers can electively seek
full cover for treatment in high cost locations such as N. America.
They target a market within a geographical area having lower average
costs for medical treatment. In most countries locally registered
and administered plans are available and can be considered budget
plans for foreign and local resident buyers. However, they usually
restrict cover to treatment obtained within that country only. Some
extend to overseas claims but with limits. One must understand clearly
and accept any plan restrictions before purchasing it.
