Title:Do You Need Health Or Travel Insurance?Word Count:676Summary:No one plans for an emergency while on vacation, but you should be prepared.Keywords:insurance, travel, medical, health, health insurance, coverage, policies, travel insuranceArticle Body:Obtaining medical treatment and hospital care can be costly for travelers who are injured orwho become seriously ill overseas. The Social Security Medicare/Medicaid program does not

provide coverage for hospital or medical services outside the United States.Before you leave the United States, you should be informed about which medical services yourhealth insurance will cover abroad.Senior citizens may wish to contact the American Association of Retired Persons forinformation about foreign medical care coverage with Medicare supplement plans.If your health insurance policy does not provide coverage for hospital or medical costs abroad,you are urged to purchase a temporary health policy that does provide this type of coverage.There are short-term health and emergency assistance policies designed for travelers.You can find the names of companies that provide such policies from your travel agent, yourhealth insurance company, or from advertisements in travel publications. In addition to healthinsurance, many policies include trip cancellation, baggage loss, and travel accident insurancein the same package. Some traveler's check companies have protection policies available withthe purchase of traveler's checks.Medical EvacuationAlthough some health insurance companies may pay \"customary and reasonable\" hospital costsabroad, very few will pay for medical evacuation back to the United States. Medical evacuationcan easily cost $10,000 or more, depending on your location and medical condition.One of the main advantages of health and emergency assistance policies is that they ofteninclude coverage for medical evacuation to the United States. Even if your regular healthinsurance covers you for emergencies abroad, you should consider purchasing supplementalinsurance to cover medical evacuation.Whichever health insurance coverage you choose for travel overseas, remember to carry withyou both your health insurance policy identity card and claim forms.Do You Need Travel Insurance?You may not need travel insurance, if you are already adequately covered by other insurancepolicies.Depending on the travel insurance plan, travel insurance usually promises to cover you forcancellation or interruption of your trip, some form of emergency medical care while you aretraveling, lost or stolen luggage, and various other troublesome occurrences.Before you decide on a travel insurance plan, it is wise to investigate the plan carefully and readthe fine print. You should closely check any agreements with your travel agent, tour operator,airline, or other companies involved with your travel plans. The agreements may includewritten guarantees.If you have a fully refundable airline ticket, you may decide that you would not need tripcancellation/interruption insurance.On the other hand, it may be worthwhile noting that certain insurance plans can protect you bycovering the financial costs in case of the following situations:

A sudden, serious injury or illness to you, a family member, or a traveling companion.Financial default of the airline, cruise line or tour operator.Natural disasters or strikes that impede travel services.A terrorist incident in a foreign city within 10 days of your scheduled arrival in that particularcity.The fact that you, a traveling member of your family, or a traveling companion werequarantined served with a court order or required to serve on a jury.A circumstance in which you were directly involved in an accident enroute to departure foryour trip.It is a good idea to check your other insurance policies. For instance, your homeowners ortenants insurance may cover the loss or theft of your luggage.Certain credit cards may also provide additional travel insurance, if you have used them topurchase the ticket for your trip.Your health insurance may provide certain coverage, regardless of where you travel. But it isvery important to note that some policies only partially cover medical expenses abroad.Moreover, as previously explained in the section on Health Insurance, Medicare/Medicaid willnot cover hospital and medical services outside the United States.Your travel agent should be able to advise you about the right plan for you. Before purchasingtravel insurance, review the plan carefully, and be wary of buying coverage that you mayalready have.Title:How To Get Cheap Health Insurance Online In New HampshireWord Count:624抦 抳Summary:I sure you e heard of the dozens and dozens of websites out there that will allow you tocompare health insurance policies between different companies so that you can find the bestrate with just the push of a button.While these sites are great, and I will be recommending that you visit several of these sites injust a moment, there are a few things that you need to do before jumping online if you reallyand truly want to find the cheapest health insurance here in New ...Keywords:

If you can afford to increasethe size of your copay, to, say, 50%, you can greatly lower your monthly premium payment.This can be especially beneficial to people who do not see a doctor on a regular basis.Probably the most dramatic way you can lower the monthly cost of your health insurance is toincrease your deductible. When you increase your deductible you increase the amount of moneythat you will pay each year for your own medical needs before you ask your insurance to startpaying its share. The more you are willing to pay ?in other words, the higher yourdeductible ?then the less your insurance company will charge you each month.In fact, some people elect to purchase super-high-deductible health insurance policies. Many ofthese super-high-deductible policies have deductibles of $2,000 or even $3,000, with relatively抯low monthly premiums. This means that in a normal year these insurance policies may not payeven a penny toward doctor visits, lab work, or even simple out-patient procedures.Where these policies become indispensable is in the event of a major catastrophic illness or anaccident, the kind that creates medical bills of tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.Just one major accident or illness could wipe out years of life savings and even put your homein jeopardy in almost less time than it has taken you to read this article.抳 抳You e looked at your copayment needs and you e calculated the highest deductible you can抯afford, so now it time to get online and find at least three different websites that let youcompare different health insurance policies from different insurance companies head-to-head,so you can see for yourself which policy has the most coverage for the least amount of money.抰 抳 抳Don be fooled into thinking that you e found the best deal just because you e looked at抳one website. The site you looked at does not compare every insurance company out there. Theonly way for you to know for sure that you e gotten the cheapest health insurance available in

New Hampshire is to fill out the forms and make the comparisons on at least three differentsites.It takes a little extra time to make all of the necessary comparisons, but the result is that younow know, beyond a doubt, that you have gotten the cheapest health insurance possible in theentire state of New Hampshire.Title:The Key to Anti-Aging HealthWord Count:435Summary:抯 抮 抰Age, it a natural part of life.
