Health Insurance – Bipolar Patients – Don’t Pay more for Health Insurance
by Sean Johnson Posted: Wednesday, 6/29/2011
People who are suffering from bipolar disorder are not exempt from the other problems of life. Like everyone else, they are experiencing unemployment, bankruptcy and other factors that determine what type of healthcare a person can receive. However, unlike most others, manic depressives have a disease that requires medical attention. But for those without health insurance, there are two schools of thought. There are those that pay cash for their healthcare, and then there are those that do nothing. Both parties are not making the best decisions for their well-being, whether it's in regard to their mental health or their financial portfolio.
Mental Health Coverage – Get Approved for Real Health Insurance
by Sean Johnson Posted: Wednesday, 6/22/2011
If you need treatment for any kind of mental disorder, you will need to be patient and persistent. Many insurance companies do not offer any form of mental health coverage, and those that do charge exorbitantly high rates. This means that people with bulimia, panic disorder, depression, and pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder must pay the bulk of their medical expenses out-of-pocket. Anti-depressants such as Prozac are seen as a high-risk factor that could lead to expensive claims later on. Many health insurance providers treat mental disorders as pre-existing conditions or simply deny all claims related to a mental disorder. Unfortunately, medication is often treated the same way. Getting coverage for mental disorders can be difficult, depending on the insurance company.
