Step 1.  Check with your employer.

This is the logical first step.  Whether your employer provides a health insurance package for their employees doesn't matter.  Employers almost always have extensive knowledge concerning health insurance issues - even if they don't offer it.  Bring up the subject with your supervisor.  Ask what he/she knows about it.  You will likely be surprised.

If your employer offers health insurance benefits and you qualify, your health insurance search just might be over.  Find out as much as you can about their employee package, as soon as possible.  There may be a time delay before you can qualify for benefits.  If so, you may need to pick up a Short-Term insurance plan to cover the time that you are ineligible for coverage.  Whatever you do, don't go without coverage.  It's not worth the risk


Step 2.  Visit Healthcare.gov.

Visit: Healthcare.gov to discover what health insurance plans are available in the Lubbock, TX region.  You will find all sorts of valuable information that can help you to make a smart health insurance choice.  Take a moment to review the meaning of health insurance terms like: Deductible, Coinsurance, and Maximum-out-of-pocket.  Having a good grasp of the meaning of such terms will simplify your decision making process.


Step 3.  Consider how much you can afford to spend on your family's health insurance coverage.

It's essential to know how much you can afford to spend on health insurance and other health-related expenses.  Looking at how much you have actually spent on healthcare in the past is the best place to start when considering how much to budget for these costs.  Examine your invoices from your insurance company and healthcare providers from the previous year to determine expenditures.  (In this case, your bank and credit card statements should come in handy.)  The final figure you arrive at will be a good indicator for calculating annual health insurance and health-care costs.


Step 4.  Speak with a health insurance specialist.

A quality insurance broker can assist you with every element of the health insurance purchase.  When it comes to determining the size of your health plan deductible, an insurance broker can help you weigh the advantages and disadvantages.  They will be able to help you better understand the nuances of health plan co-insurances.  They can assist you in determining whether you qualify for Affordable Care Act subsidies.  Their services are normally free.

Choosing a health insurance plan is not something to take "lightly".

When looking for a quality Texas health insurance plan, there are multiple issues to consider.  Also, there are plenty of important health plan particulars that are easy to overlook.  Many Americans end up not liking their health insurance plan once they actually have to utilize it.  More often than not, this dissatisfaction is caused by the customer selecting a plan without fully comprehending its benefits.  To avoid being trapped in a health plan that does not adequately serve your needs, it is critical to fully understand how the plan works - before you purchase it.



Finding an affordable, comprehensive individual health plan can be difficult.

Finding quality, low-cost health insurance can be challenging for a variety of reasons.  To begin, health insurance in the United States is undergoing a transformation.  The Affordable Care Act health insurance plan portfolio is available to more Americans.  Subsidies are available to an increasing number of people.  All of these changes have resulted in an avalanche of new information being published online.  Regrettably, a great deal of that information is either incomplete or inaccurate.  The average consumer has a hard time figuring out what's what.

In addition, with so many other things to worry about, most people do not devote a lot of time keeping up with the complexity of US health insurance. The average consumer needs the assistance and guidence of a licensed health insurance agent. In Texas, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find an agent that takes the time to personally assist customers.


ACA is more affordable.

In Texas, Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance plan options are more affordable than they were in previous years.  This is because the subsidies provided by the federal government are larger.  In addition, more Americans now qualify for a subsidy.
