Health Insurance Quote In Florida

Do you have preexisting conditions and have you been declined for major medical health insurance?  The underwriting of individual medical insurance in Florida is different from group medical insurance.  With respect to Group, or Employer coverage, the underwriting is waived because in Florida it is guaranteed issue.  Not so with individual applications where the underwriting departments at each Florida insurance company will scrutinize very closely for any pre-existing conditions in your health history.

Armed with the above info., which do you think would be more expensive - group medical insurance or individual medical insurance? If you said group medical insurance then you are on the right track to understanding the main difference between the two.

Florida Group Health Insurance  Some people are shocked to learn that the cost of group, or employer based health insurance, is almost twice as high as the cost of individual medical insurance.  "How can that be?", they ask.  Well unlike most situations where sellers are more willing to offer discounts to buyers of multiple units, group health insurance is an exception.  Consider an example, let's say your employer just hired a new co-worker and the spouse has cancer.  By law, the employer is forced to cover all the expenses associated with the spouse's medical condition...even though they never would be approved for an individual medical insurance policy. You as a healthy person are in a sense subsidizing the cost of your unhealthy co-worker (and all of the other unhealthy people) in paying their premiums, thus driving up the cost of everyone's health insurance premium.

What people overlook is that in Florida, health insurers are required to accept sick people along with healthy people on group plans as opposed to an individual medical plans. Thus, it only makes sense that insurers are going to charge more for coverage where they can't screen out people with medical conditions they don't want.  Individual health insurance does not work the same way, the insurer can be picky and applications are subject to full medical underwriting, hence the rates for individual health insurance are relatively cheap.
