The Health Insurance Crisis 2000 the first round of mini-meds

• For groups only 2002 followed with the individual mini-meds

• Very limited individual coverage

We conducted our own study with these results: Benefits are too limited and don’t provide sufficient coverage Premiums are affordable but do not offer adequate protection Eligibility requirements are too restrictive relative to the risk Lack of Flexibility – product design not addressing the real need

with a very narrow range of features and options Accessibility – not available to both individuals and groups

The Solution

Med Maxtm

The Solution is Med++Max Health Insurance designed for:

The uninsured

2006 Census Bureau revealed that between 2000 and 2005 the number of uninsured had an unprecedented increase of 6.8 million from 39.8 to 46.6 million

The underinsured

Group plans reduction in benefits, increased contributions, deductibles and co-pays results in underinsurance

This plan is not comprehensive major medical insurance but it can increase employee loyalty and reduce turnover

Pre-existing Pre-existing conditions are not covered until the policy has been in effect for more than 12 months. A pre-existing condition is any condition you have now or had within a 12 month period prior to the effective date of coverage for each covered person. Med+Max is HIPPA compliant. Persons who leave the plan will receive a HIPPA Certificate of Creditable Coverage. Those who enter the plan presenting a valid Certificate of Creditable Coverage will receive credit toward this plan’s pre-existing conditions limitation.

 

Terms of Coverage Coverage remains in effect as long as you pay the required premium charges on time, and as long as you maintain membership eligibility. Coverage will terminate if you become ineligible due to any of the following circumstances: a) Non-payment of premium and fees, b) Residency requirements, c) For other reasons permissible by law.
