HMO, PPO, and Medicare, Oh My!

Health care is such a hot topic right now.  Maybe too hot.  There is so much information and heated debate that it has become very difficult to sort out fact from fiction.  But when you decide to start your own business you will be leaving the feathered nest of your employer (at some point), and you will need to handle your own health insurance coverage.  Yikes!

To help you navigate these dark waters, I highly recommend getting the book Cut Your Health Care Costs Now! By Brandi Funk, RN, FNP.  Don’t let the topic fool you.  This book was fascinating reading.  There was so much I didn’t know, and didn’t even know I didn’t know.

Some of the topics covered:

* How to get the best health insurance for you and your family

* The ins and outs of COBRA

* How to prevent becoming “uninsurable” by insurance companies

* How to get medical care without health insurance

* How to negotiate your medical bills

* Where to get help with maternity care costs when it’s excluded from your insurance plan

* How to get the most out of your Medicare coverage

New business owners are dealing with so much that sometimes health insurance gets pushed to the bottom of the list, and maybe it isn’t even on the list.  That’s understandable.  All insurance is viewed as an annoying money-drain… until we need it.  Then it can literally be a life saver.

The book is available on Amazon for $24.95, or as an eBook for $21.95.  You can find out more about the book here.  And while you’re there check out her blog.  You can not know too much about this subject.
