Don’t say this to your insurance company

When you contact your insurance company to file a claim there are a few things that you shouldn’t say if you want to make sure that your policy will cover the incident. Now, do not fraud the insurance company, just make sure what you’re telling them is the truth.

1. Never start a sentence with “I think” or any other term that indicates that you’re not sure as to why something happened. If you don’t know say “I don’t know.” Giving information that can be proven wrong later can really hurt your claim and can damage your credibility.

Particularly beware of speculating on blame or causation. For example, if you suggest that a water leak is due to a construction defect, you could give the insurer an out if that’s a policy exclusion.

2. Don’t use the “whiplash” excuse unless your doctor actually says you have it. This is one of the most fraudulent claims every year that insurance companies have to deal with. In some cases, according to Amy Danise from Insure.com, mentioning whiplash in your claim is likely to get it flagged for further investigation.

3. Don’t admit to a doctor’s test as being experimental when it isn’t. There is a difference between an actual experimental drug/procedure and one that is proven (and accepted by the FDA for use) but your doctor wants to try it out in your case. You may want to make sure that your doctor can prove that it will be covered by insurance before getting it done and fighting with the insurance company later.

4. The word “flood” triggers some kind of nervous, shaking, fear in insurers; so don’t use it. When it comes to homeowner’s insurance, floods aren’t covered. A flood is weather related too, not if your pipe bursts and you find yourself with a basement full of water.

5. Don’t act like the only thing you care about is the money. When an insurance company sees that you care more about getting a check rather than fixing your damaged property, they will likely put your claim on hold while they go and check further into it.

When it comes to insurance, it’s all about what the insurance company thinks. If they feel that you’re trying to make a fraudulent claim, for any reason, they can simply put the brakes on your claim altogether. It is rather frustrating to pick and choose your words when you talk to the insurance company, but it is important. Too many people, every single year, decide that having insurance is a good way to try to make a bit of money, when in reality that is not what insurance is for.

I can’t tell anyone what to do with their money, but if an insurance company sends a check out, then fix whatever is broken.

A Healthcare Niche that Helps

Michael Bowler | RSS | Fri, Mar 06 2009 | 0 Comments

Most deductibles can take a toll on a person’s pocketbook when it comes to paying premiums for health care insurance. Most insurance companies will not pay for 100% coverage for health care treatments. The injured are not in a hurry to run to a doctor for a procedure to be done. The insurance companies are limited when it comes to taking care of the needs of the person. You must purchase more insurance to be able to have all coverage for most incidents.

A family that is in need would have to seek elsewhere for medical attention, or apply for government assistance. “Our insurance card is limited, one family says sadly”.

A person with a medical practice sees a number of patients on a daily basis, some patients learn to put certain money aside for emergencies, so when it occurs they have the money available. You must learn to deal wit the health care cost, because everyone is going to need to be seen by a doctor some day, to get routine check ups.

Some people can afford to pay the expensive health care cost, and others are looking for ways to deal with it. The people who are having problems are finding other niches; like taking over the counter drugs and home remedies.

Other health care facilities have major health care niches that are having a problem with making money in their practices; patients are not able to pay for the much needed health care assistance. Today’s economic system is in a downturn because the people just don’t have the money. Clinics, hospitals and pharmacies may have to decrease their prices or offer major discounts to stay open for business. Nowadays there is no other way around health care costs, but to look for a niche to deal with the payments, to maintain a persons health.

There is much talk about the health care costs, but we can’t fight the prices, but we must learn to deal with it, until the government comes up with a plan that will help us financially deal with our problem. We can obtain other sources that will assist us like the “gold card” and Medicaid assistance that assist low income people with medical attention. Another method is Medicare which assist people over the age of 60 with medical costs.

A business in the veterinary care has a niche for making money and is a booming business in some states. Although they may have competition, they have learned the niche is continuing their money flow. Consumers are searching the internet for health care issues concerning their pets. The pet care business has advertisements on the internet and links that will give the information they need to get the help they need for their pets.

There are many blogs about pet care that will lead you to the appropriate pet care company that will enable that business to grown and gain more profit.

An OB/GYN clinic continues to stay a float in business with their highly structured website and popularity of their services given. The clinic provides outstanding care all year round so that it can continue its business with repeat customers. It gets new business in from its current patients who refer their friends and family who are in need of good care. The clinic also provides career opportunities to highly skilled medical personnel which help provide good care at the clinic so that others can continue their business. There is also a guarantee policy that is available, if there are any problems that the clinic may face.

You can obtain a list of the medical doctors at www.physiciancareerjobs.com and it will provide you with doctors and hospitals names, address and phone numbers to contact. All hospitals are carrying out the healthcare niche to maintain business and healthcare cost, while they are taking care of the patients to ensure that their health will be taken care of.
