So-called “alternative medicine” – chiropractics, naturopathy, acupuncture and the like – may be getting too big to be called “alternative” anymore. According to the Center for Disease Control’s National Center for Health Statistics, Americans spend approximately $34 billion out-of-pocket each year on those alternative healing practices. That’s about one-third of what we spend on prescription drugs – but nonetheless, most health insurance companies don’t cover alternative health medicine. There are ways to stretch alternative medicine dollars, however, and most importantly, the overall picture may eventually change if the health care bill before Congress passes with a key provision intact.
Insurance Policy Coverage
One of the first places you should begin your quest for affordable, alternative health medicine and alternative healing is your health insurance policy.
2010 ushered in a new beginning for many, especially those who have decided to get in shape and lose those unwanted extra pounds. Becausetwo-thirds of all adult Americans are overweight, exercise and dieting are some of the most common New Year’s resolutions people make. Luckily, your health insurance provider is an excellent resource for achieving those goals!
Obesity Leads to Disease
Obesity is one of the leading causes for an abundance of diseases including diabetes, heart disease, strokes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gallbladder disease, various cancers, osteoarthritis and sleep apnea.
Most travel insurance plans offer coverage for trip cancellation and trip interruption. These benefits will reimburse the traveler pre-paid and non-refundable expenses if, for a covered reason, the trip is canceled before it starts or interrupted after departure. War and acts of war are normally not listed as a covered reason, in fact, are often specifically listed in the general exclusions for all coverage. There are some plans that will cover acts of terrorism, but not war.
If a traveler is concerned that the trip will not happen because of war, then it is best to find a plan that offers cancel for any reason coverage. This allows the traveler to cancel the trip without providing a reason, but must do so at least 48 hours prior to departure. Also, to qualify for this benefit, the insurance must be purchased within a set amount of time from the initial trip deposit date, normally 14-30 days, depending on the plan. Cancel for any reason will only reimburse a portion of the trip cost, not the full 100% like trip cancellation. Lastly, this coverage is normally a selectable upgrade that will raise the cost of the premium by about 40%. Always refer to the certificate of insurance for details.
