Hi,
I suffer from toenail fungus, and I have tried ALL home remedies available without success. I am also about to buy health insurance. I thought I would take this opportunity to finally visit the physician and get rid of this problem. My questions are:
1. Which health insurance plans offer the ideal coverage to treat toenail fungus?
2. Do they cover the medication and the surgery required in some cases to remove the toenail?
Thank you for all your help!
Q&A: CAN I REIMBURSE MYSELF HEALTH INSURANCE COSTS FROM MY COMPANY?
Question by Jackie S:
Can I reimburse myself health insurance costs from my company?
We used to have individual health insurance, and I would pay for it out of my own company (an S Corp). When we got insurance through my husband’s employer, I stopped reimbursing myself.
He is paid for by the company, and then it costs extra to add myself and our child.
I was just going to deduct health insurance premiums on our Sch A, but we do not have enough other medical expenses to meet the limit.
Is it ligit to go ahead and reimburse myself the amount that it cost for the health insurance? Then it would be a business expense. Thanks.
HOW DOES HEALTH INSURANCE WORK IN THE US?
Question by synchronised:
How does health insurance work in the US?
I am a non-US citizen and need this information to do a case.
Specifically:
1) Is health insurance compulsory for everyone?
2) What happens if someone cannot afford it?
3) In the event that a medical procedure needs to be done, does health insurance cover all the bills? Does the patient need to pay anything extra?
4) Does the patient have any say over what kind of procedure he can take? Say if 2 treatments are available for his condition, can the patient choose the more costly treatment? And if so, is it covered by the insurance?
Thanks for reading this. Your help in answering any part of the questions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks to those who have responded so far.
I would like to further ask:
Does a health insurance contract say that it will only cover the “normal” rates for a procedure? For eg. if there are 2 possible treatments for a disease, 1 of which is more costly but more effective than the other, will the patient only be covered by the LESS costly one?
Or is it a case in which the patient can opt for the more costly one and “top-up” the difference?
This is a crucial question to my understanding the case. Thanks!
HOW WOULD HEALTH INSURANCE BUSINESSES BE ABLE TO STAY VIABLE IF THE SENATE BILL IS PASSED?
Question by johma513:
How would health insurance businesses be able to stay viable if the Senate bill is passed?
As I comprehend it, the bill forces all Americans to have health insurance. However, I think that the fine for having no health insurance is around $ 750. But after the year 2014, health insurance companies will not be able to turn customers away for preexisting conditions. Why wouldnt someone pay the fine or buy low end coverage until they got ill and supplement the coverage or buy an extensive plan?
