Accidents Happen and They Come with a Price

Posted by on Mar 1, 2014 in Health Insurance News

Today is the first day of the last month to buy an individual health insurance policy for the 2014 enrollment season. Unless a qualifying event occurs, you’re not going to be able to buy a new individual health policy from Apr. 1 – Nov. 15, 2014.

Besides most likely having to pay a financial penalty you will have to pay all of your own medical bills if you remain uninsured.

Here are some average costs to put things into perspective:

  • Emergency Room visit, $150-$3,000+. (Not including ambulance service, up to $1,200+).
  • Broken arm without surgery $2,500+, with surgery $16,000+.
  • Broken leg without surgery $2,000+, with surgery $17,000-$35,000+.
