‘Tis the season here at your Vitality California health insurance website! California health insurance shoppers and plan members can tune their Web browser right here to see how Health Care Reform is changing the benefits featured in the California individual and family health insurance plans Vitality offers residents of the state.
Just the other day we provided an update on changes you’d see in the Blue Shield of California  health plan offerings in that all new Blue Shield of California health plans will now feature free preventive care – if secured in-network as per PPACA mandates. We’ve also seen a flurry of other activity from this and other insurance carriers here in the state as they reconfigure their plans so that their products are in line with mandates set forth by the PPACA or Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act legislation.
While there’s any number of online resources where you might be able to secure free quotes for California health insurance plans or apply online for your choice of a California health insurance plan, we’re confident that Vitality online represents the California consumer’s best online resource for both the ease and convenience of shopping for a health plan and the ability we provide to secure clear, concise information about how to buy the best and most affordable California health insurance plan strategy that is uniquely right for you, your family – and for our business clients – the group health insurance California business leaders can rely on for their valued employee teams.

It goes without saying that every California health insurance shopper wants to secure the best and most affordable California health insurance plan that is uniquely right for them and their family. Of all the information we’ve imparted here at the Vitality California health insurance blog, that is probably our most obvious statement yet!
There’s really a pretty simple equation when it comes to saving money on your new California health insurance plan strategy: The higher the deductible, the more money you are likely to save on your monthly plan premiums. The process to securing your new high deductible California health insurance plan is quick and easy. To wit: You can get a free quote for a California health insurance plan quickly and easily here at our site. Next, you can apply online for a California health insurance plan – again; it’s quick and easy! You can also download paper applications for California health insurance plans here at the Vitality website as well.
Okay, now you have your affordable California health insurance plan strategy in hand. There is a second – important – part to the process of owning a high deductible health plan and that’s what we at Vitality are dedicated to helping the consumer with here at our Vitality website and accompanying Vitality Blog: Owning a high deductible health plan means you save money right from the start on your monthly premium, get free preventive care exams, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you and your family have important coverage in the face of catastrophic illness or injury. Owning a high deductible health plan means you have a high(er) annual deductible that you’ll be required to meet before your health insurance company will contribute money to the cost of your health care services. Once you’ve met that deductible, your insurance carrier may pay 70, 80, or even 100% towards the services you may have needed to access as a health plan member. It’s also worth noting that high deductible health plans are not unique to just the individual market: These plans are also in use in the group health insurance California employers are using to provide health coverage for their valued employee teams.
When you start out a plan year and you’re looking up at a $4000 or $5000 annual deductible (or higher), it’s going to be more important than ever that you become the best and most savvy health services consumer you can be. First it’s important to know this: You will have help.
- As a plan member you will have access to the lower, negotiated rates that health insurers negotiate with their network providers. So there are significant savings to be had as a health plan member.
- As a plan member it is always important that you stay in-network for your health care services. When selecting the individual or family health plan that’s right for you, it’s always important to factor in the strength of the network your choice for a health plan offers its members.
- Leading California health insurance companies like Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California and Aetna – to name three – each offer important online consumer tools like cost estimators for medical procedures/tests ordered by your physician. These tools are free and will help you maximize value in shopping for affordable health care services. Please use them and always encourage your covered dependents to use the tools as well.
