Quick Guide to Health Insurance |
To find out about what they will pay for:
- Insurance phone calls and doctors appointments are often long - If you talk to someone and they don’t know the answer, ask them if they know someone who does! - Bring your insurance card every time you go to the doctor - If you’re nervous or unsure, ask someone for help, or bring a friend - Leave plenty of time for your appointment, sometimes doctors run late - Bring a list of questions with you and write down their answers |
