Immediate Health Insurance Coverage


It is easy to grow tired of all the bureaucracy that is part and parcel of the application for health insurance coverage. The seemingly endless piles of paperwork to go through, the investigations into your family's medical history, and the physical examinations are only a few of the many steps one has to take when seeking health care. Luckily, advancements have been made to reduce the amount of red tape you have to go through so that the application process becomes as painless as possible. Here are a few helpful suggestions to speed along the process of getting health insurance.

Temporary health insurance

These kinds of plans are perfect for you if you are in between jobs but expect to be employed within the next six months. Some policy providers even offer next day approval on your application. This is necessary because the policies themselves terminate quickly, so the sooner you get your policy, the better for everyone concerned. Your medical history will not matter so much as physical examinations are kept to a minimum, thus giving you the fastest solution to your health care needs.

Internet applications

The power of the Internet has greatly sped up the process of application for health insurance coverage. Investigations into your medical history no longer requires poring over piles of medical records. Some companies will simply send e-mails to hospitals and doctors asking about an applicant's medical history. For the applicant, taking the drive down to the local insurance policy provider's office is no longer necessary. Forms can be completed online after which a quote is immediately generated for the applicant to select. This also eases the difficulty of looking for the provider that can offer you the best rates. It will make it easy for you to compare the rates of one provider to another. Also, if you feel anxious about having to pay for your policy online, most policy providers offer free online quotations that you can print out and take to their office for contract signing.
