Knowing Your Health Plan Exclusions
Submitted by kzeng on Sat, 2005-03-12 23:24This can be a very distressing question for many. Health insurance companies are not immune from the blows to the economy therefore they have been reviewing their budgets and in doing so the "Exclusions" list in your health insurance plan has probably become even longer.
It is just as important to understand what is not covered as knowing what is covered. To find out what is not covered take a look at your health insurance paperwork. If you cannot find it call your provider and they will send you an additional copy. Although the exclusions can be spread throughout your paperwork, generally you can find a list of exclusions in it's own area usually listed as "Exclusions." As you are reviewing your exclusions section take a look at the size of the list.
