- 14Why did my small business health insurance go up 200%?Insurers penalize small groups when even a single employee has high medical claims, leaving employers with massive rate hikes or terrible fallback options like 20 percent co-insurance. This dynamic forces very small organizations to choose between unaffordable coverage or abandoning group insurance entirely.
- 11How to handle a surprise medical or dental billMedical and dental offices often send unexpected add-on charges and massive bills that far exceed the original cost estimates provided to patients. This leaves people facing sudden debt without warning, forcing them to scramble for advice on how to handle the unexpected costs.
- 3How to afford healthcare before Medicare at 65Retiring early leaves a multi-year gap where private health insurance can cost tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket. Without employer retiree coverage, people face massive yearly expenses just to bridge the time until Medicare eligibility.
- 2What to do with an HSA after changing jobsWhen you leave an employer for a job that does not offer a high-deductible health plan, you can keep your existing health savings account and invested funds, but you cannot make new contributions. Moving or rolling over the funds requires careful attention to account fees, potential tax implications depending on the account type, and avoiding accidentally forgetting about the balance.
