Hi there, Michelle.
I cannot answer you with a yes or no since there are many factors that we have to consider to verify if your group health insurance will be adequate for your medical protection in Candler AZ. First, I’d like to state that a group health insurance can be sponsored by your employer and mostly you are given an option to include your other family members at your own expense. An individual health insurance, sometimes called disability insurance, is a health insurance you get for your own. With the group insurance, of course it comes cheaper for your employer since there is a corresponding group discount for a certain number of headcount who gets a health insurance from them. With individual policy, it might be a little higher on premiums but with more extensive benefits.
There can be numerous types of health insurance policies such as managed care insurances like HMO, PPO, & POS plans. HMOs are normally prepaid fixed fee. PPO has no separate physical facility in which patients are normally being checked. You can check first if your current health insurance plan under your employer is any of these types. Also, some employers would have you to participate in paying your premiums at a certain percentage. IN relevance to your needs, you have to verify your current coverage. You can take a closer look at your policy provisions which your employer has probably given you and shop around for specifications of individual health insurance policies and try to compare.
