[Hidden-tech] temp health insurance

[Jeremy Dunn]

Re: re[2]: [Hidden-tech] temp health insuranceTo the best of my knowledge, Golden Rule no longer writes short-term health insurance policies in Massachusetts.  Apparently the legislation changed some years ago, and now requires all health insurance carriers to cover certain items, e.g. periodic mammography, no matter the nature of the policy.  This made it too expensive for the short-term/catastrophic-only carriers, and they all withdrew from the state.  Or so I was given to understand by some knowledgeable insurance agents when I last explored this.

    Hi everyone,
     
    Whoever needs "catastrophic" insurance must consider discount plans that saved me $1430 last October when I needed to see a physician and didn't have insurance.
    I used Health Plan from www.primedical.rg <http://www.primedical.rg>  - they cover Massachusetts decently and helped get the best deal out of network providers.
