Important Laws Affecting Health Insurance Benefits

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the majority of Americans -- 70.2% -- are covered by some form of health insurance, mostly through a current or former employer or union. Simply having coverage is not enough, however. In order to get the most from your health insurance coverage, you must know what legal rights and protections you have.

There are a number of federal laws that govern your health insurance. These laws address everything from interruptions in coverage to coverage for newborn babies to mental health coverage. Here is a list:

• The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, which helps people keep their group health insurance coverage even after losing or leaving a job.

• The Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act, which protects women and their newborns from being prematurely released from the hospital after childbirth.

• The Mental Health Parity Act, which prohibits health plans and insurers from providing less coverage for mental disorders.

• The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which, among other things, protects people who suffer from what the insurance industry calls "pre-existing conditions."

• The Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act, which governs how your health insurance company treats women who suffer from breast cancer.

An e-mail newsletter will accomplish three things for you if its designed with thought and planning:

• It will help you gather contact e-mails. People may not agree to be bombarded with advertising, but free information is quite another matter.
• It will help you build a relationship with your prospects, who are now welcoming you into their lives and in many cases hanging on your every word.
• It will build your credibility among your prospects, because they see you as the expert on your topic ... and we all prefer to buy from the expert, right?

Marketing Tip of The Month:  

Extra Effort:
The difference between first and last place in the Olympics is often measured in milliseconds. Selling is the same. Always have extra knowledge that can benefit your prospect and remember to add value. Make sure you know what extra advice, articles, or add-on products you can give your clients and prospects to help you stand out from the crowd.
