Taking these steps will enable you get a plan that is right for you:

1. Decide how much you can afford to pay.

No one knows your finances like you. So examine your income and expenses, and determine what you can comfortably afford in premiums, either monthly or annually.

2. Ask insurers these questions:

• How much will my premiums be?
• How much will my insurance company cover and how much will I be required to pay?
• Am I required to meet a deductible before my doctor visit insurance starts paying? If so, what is my deductible?
• Does this plan include doctor visit co-pays? If so, how much are they?
• How much will each doctor visit cost me?
• Are office visits for preventive health care, emergency visits and/or serious medical problems covered? If so, at what level?
• Are visits to my ophthalmologist, dentist, and other specialists covered, too? If so, are those doctors paid at the same rate as my M.D.?
