Having medical insurance will give a sense of security against devastating medical bills, but the insured is not always out of the woods. Even though a person does have coverage for the major part
of any medical expense, there are copayments and deductibles. A shoulder operation can cost a person several thousand dollars and can be a burden. Expenses can threaten the financial wellness of anyone.
Nature of the Medical Beast
Here’s how the debt can build. A person will pay for the copayment and meet the deductible in a calendar year. However, when January 1 rolls around everything starts over. The insured has already paid one year’s requirement, but in the new year will have to meet all of the co-pay and all the deductible once again. This is how people end up in financial wellness hole. It is estimated that 74% of those who file for bankruptcy do so because of medical cost and health insurance. Debt management help is critical.
