Many families are seeking ways to lower their health insurance cost.  For those without health insurance, one tempting option is a health Discount plan.  These plans are typically offered for as little as $10 per month for an individual to well over $100 per month for a family.  While the advertising and marketing of health Discount plans make them sound like insurance, they are not insurance plans.  Most Discount plans promise a savings of 10 to 50%, but keep in mind, a 40% discount on a $100,000 hospital bill will still leave you owing $60,000.

Mini-Med health insurance plans have also been heavily promoted in recent years.  A number of insurance companies have recently introduced new health insurance plans, that at first glance appear similar to traditional plans, but in fact they have substantially reduced benefit limits.  Quite a few Mini-Med plans have an annual maximum benefit for outpatient procedures as low as $2,500, when it is not uncommon for an outpatient procedure to exceed $10,000.  Our greatest concern about Mini-Med plans is that they have extremely low maximum lifetime benefits.  We have seen lifetime benefits as low as $25,000.  UniCare's maximum lifetime benefit is $5,000,000 regardless if procedures are performed in or out of the hospital. 

The following article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal addresses the pit falls of Mini-Med health plans.

We are not aware of any health insurance plans that are less expensive than UniCare, if you compare benefits apples to apples.  Make an informed decision.  You can't afford to make a mistake!   Discount and Mini-Med plans can cause severe financial hardship in the event of a catastrophic loss.
