How to appeal declining application on Health insurance?
I just received letter from Blue Shield of California on my recent application for health coverage, I am asking for any suggestion on appeal and my rights in this process. My COBRA is running out, and this recent application took 2 months before they turned me down.
I considered myself fairly healthy other than a monthly low dosage cholesterol prescription.
Any help or suggestion is appreciated.
Answer: Bad cholesterol readings would not be subject to a decline; worst case scenario would be a waiver. There has to be something else in your records that would indicate another problem and the letter should state the reasons, such as being over the BMI guidelines or needing a procedure that has not been completed. You need to contact your agent. The agent can talk with the underwriters and help you appeal the decision or can suggest other options. If the agent also works with other insurance companies they can probably find a plan that would accept you; many other companies are much more lenient with their underwriting. If you did not use an agent you're acting as your own agent and you must contact the underwriters to find out why they declined and what your options may be.

How to buy the Health insurance for out of state?
I just moved from CA to WA. I have the health insurance in the Blue Shield of California. I am out of state now , so I wonder if I need to cancel the insurance and buy a new one in WA. I dont have a drivers licence in WA now. Can I apply for a new health insurance in WA? If yes, please help me how to do that!
Thanks!
Answer: You cannot transfer the policy to WA so you'll need to visit a local agent. If you visit an independent agent you can shop the market to make sure you're getting the best deal. You do not need a driver's license to get the health policy.
Do not cancel your current insurance until you've been approved with the new policy. It will still work in WA for awhile although your co-pays will probably be higher.

How will Conservatives elect a candidate without a church?
McCain called christians "agents of intolerance" and doesnt go to church
McCain supports the right to abortion
McCain doesnt support the immigration bill
So if McCain doesnt support gun, religion, and borders?
what principles are republicans voting for him? will some republicans go with Obama?
Answer: Religion never really had anything to do with the conservatives way of doing things. It was just a shield to hide their real reasons for wanting to be in office which are:
Greed and the pursuit of bankrupting America and its citizens in the name of God!
To do what they have done to this country, there is no way you can convince me they have an ounce of God in them.
What they have done is pure evil and heartless.

In the medigap insurance which plan allows to get prescription drugs at a discounted price?
I just turned 65 and received Medicare A and B coverages for which Social Security deducts $103 every month.
Now I am in the middle of choosing a Medigap insurance. Leaning towards the Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey for it. Planning to choose Plan F.
A little confused as to where do I get the prescription coverage. Two of my prescriptions cost a lot.
While you are at it, please recommend a better insurance provider.
Answer: Hi Suraj,
Congratulations on your 65th birthday! When you receive Medicare, most people get enrolled to Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B.
To answer your question about Medigap (Medicare Supplement), all insurance companies that sell Medigap Plan F must offer the same benefits as outlined in "Medigap policies are standardized" on Medicare.gov. Blue Cross and blue Shield is a good company, but be mindful of other companies that might offer you a better rate.
This means that you will get equal benefits from any company you get a Plan F from. However, each company can charge different Medigap Plan F monthly premiums. Usually premiums are determined by the Zip Code or county you live in. Fortunately, there are online Medicare Supplement companies that compares rates for you from multiple companies, so you can find the lowest price in your area.
About Prescription Drugs - Medicare Supplement plans offer $0 benefit to your prescription drugs. You may purchase a separate Medicare Prescription Drug Plan also called PDPs.
You should speak with a knowledgeable agent about both your Medicare Supplement and Prescription Drug Plan offerings, especially since PDPs benefits vary based on the Rx you use.
Other Medigap companies include (but not limited to): Aflac, Humana, Gerber Life, United of Omaha, American Continental, etc
Good Luck!
(Edit: Hi Flower, you said "Some Medigap have prescription drug coverage ...". To further clarify, Medigap Policies sold after 2006 are no longer allowed to include prescription drugs coverage.)

How will the Obama administration react to productive people shielding their wealth as tax rates rise?
Volumes of empirical data show that as tax rates rise, the focus of productive people shifts from tax compliance to tax avoidance. How will President Obama react to this certainty? Will he step on the socialist accelerator even harder, convinced that his rhetoric will reverse the human spirit? Will he hire thousands upon thousands of additional government agents to forcefully confiscate property, facts be damned? Something else?
Answer: A lot of funny answers here, especially by Obama supporters showing their complete lack of understanding of taxes and the question.
Yes, tax evasion is ongoing, doubt you're going to find many people who dispute that (both dem and rep/liberal and conservative do it, not limited to one group).
If anyone has ever known someone really rich (I mean making over a million a year) they do NOT want to part with it. They will use any means necessary to hide, move, get though loopholes and other things to keep their money. As taxes go up, these people look harder for such things to keep their money (key word here s their money, they made it, earned it, it's not mine).
When this happens I think what we'll see is that the Obama administration might add more people to the IRS to catch such people. But this is a catch-22 situation. Many people don't pay taxes, guess what, with more people looking the chances of you being caught went up.
I also think, those tax cuts, forget it, it was just a campaign slogan to get you to vote for him. I say there's a 99% chance everyone's taxes will go up.
Add in an energy crisis that the democratic congress and Obama don't seem to want to do anything about, and guess what, your check you bring home, gets smaller and smaller. Say good by to many to perks you enjoyed and health-care still won't be fixed.

How will the Tampa Bay Rays do this off season?
They reduced their payroll from 72 million to mid-40s million. They are going to lose Crawford, Soriano, maybe Carlos Pena, and have already lost Benoit. They offered 7 of their 9 free agents arbitration, so they might be able to get a lot of high picks out of the 2011 1st year amateur draft. Also, they have the likes of Hellickson, Jennings, and others coming up through the minors into the Bigs. How do you think they will do?
Answer: I think this offseason removes them from the list of postseason contenders for at least the next year or 2 (possibly longer, if they can't unload James Shields). The farm system sounds like it's doing its job, which is why I think they can return to contention for a postseason berth on condition that they lose Shields.
Best-case scenario for Hellickson in 2011: see David Price, circa 2009.
Worst-case scenario for Hellickson in 2011: see Jason Hammel during his time with the team.
I'm unfamiliar with Jennings, but I have heard something about a possible Crawford replacement coming up from Durham. If Jennings is that guy, he'll at least be comparable to Brett Gardner during Gardner's rookie season (if you hate the Yankees, sorry for mentioning one of their players).
Short term, the Rays drop to a .500 team (possibly a few games above or a few games below, depending on what they are able to do with Shields). Long term, they set themselves up to make another run like 2008. If that run doesn't include Shields, I give them my blessing to "win the whole f'in thing" (quote originates from Tom Berenger, portraying aging catcher Jake Taylor in "Major League") this time around.

What health insurance companies in Illinois offer maternity insurance?
I am not planning on becoming pregnant any time soon, but feel I should have it just in case. I want my monthly premiums to remain very low and I dont mind having a higher deductible because of this. I know Blue Cross Blue Shield offers it, but all their plans are very expensive. Thanks!
I understand premiums will be expensive. Im looking for the lowest possible premiums, or just insurance companies that offer maternity, because not all of them do. I can do my own research as well for lowest rates.
Answer: Thanks to the Health Reform Act, insurance companies have pretty much stopped selling any kind of maternity insurance.
Now, for a small fee, you can still get the insurance discount. But, for example, the only "maternity" plan here in Texas, has a 90 day wait before conceiving, and a $5,000 deductible. Heck, my last C-Section, after the "insurance discount", was under that much. So it's not going to actually PAY.
Forget about which have the best maternity coverage. You're going to have a darned hard time finding any, to offer ANY coverage. And those, will have a big, hefty deductible on them.
You'll have to talk to an agent in IL to figure out IF anyone is still offering that coverage, and if not, what your other LOCAL options are. But plan on self paying it, because even when it WAS around, it would cost an extra $300 a month with a 12 month wait before conception - essentially, you're self paying anyway ($300 x 21 months is $6300 paid in).

What is the cause of the brown spots on silverware coming out of the dishwasher ?
I use one of those 2 in 1 detergent-shine shield combos in my dishwasher but no matter how clean the dishes I put in the machine I get a few silverware covered in rust like brown spots. There is nothing wrong inside the washer as far as I can see. Any ideas for the cause or cure?
I cant rule out hardwater right away but the water is quite drinkable without any chlorine or lime taste as far as I can tell.
Guy: Yeah right, it would never occur to me that you would take me for a person who would eat with real silvers and then come here to ask questions about rusty dishwashers. I would be even surprized if that stuff is stainless steel!
Answer: Try a another detergent and also try using a rinse agent like Jet Dry. Also, it could be due to hard water. Do you get yellow stains in the tub close to the faucet (evidence of hard water)? You may not see the evidence of hard water until you clean out the faucets. Simply, unscrew the little filter from the faucet and if you have little mineral rocks in there...you have hard water. Try Lemishine. It is a product that cleans the dishwasher from lime, rust and mineral buildups which could be a culprit for the stains on your dishes. Is your silverware stainless steel or silver? If it is silver use Haggerty's or Wrights's silver polish to remove tarnish. If it is stainless use white vinegar or club soda with a soft cloth and polish. Also the temperature of you water may be set too low. Depending on water hardness the water temperature may need to be adjusted.Check out the sites below and I hope this helps.

Why do metals behave as reducing agents?
I am doing a chemistry assignment, and I am stuck on the question Why do metals behave as reducing agents?
Anyone able to help? Thanks in advance!
Answer: The reason is because they have high-energy valence electrons, all as a result of good shielding from the inner-core electrons. Thus, whenever they come into contact with an ion, element, or molecule that has an empty low-energy orbital, the electrons will leave the metal orbital (high energy) to be part of a more stable orbital (low energy) in a different element, molecule or ion. You could think of this as an example of potential energy. The higher the energy the more unstable the structure is. As a matter of fact, the very high energy valence electrons of the alkali metals lose so much energy when moving to a low-lying orbital in a different element/molecule/ion that such reductions can often result in fires or explosions if precautions are not taken to avoid combustion.

Is it common to be denied coverage for a Tradition Plus Hospital Program insurance coverage?
I applied for myself as a 35 year old female for hospital only insurance coverage through blue cross blue shield. I dont smoke and I am healthy with only borderline high blood pressure. Is there a reason I would be denied?
Answer: This is a question you need to ask your agent. There could be many reasons for a decline - the high blood pressure could be the reason (what you think as borderline may be above their guidelines), you might be out of the height and weight guidelines or there could be something else in your records.

Can a licensed Real Estate Agent be considered a business entity?
Or would I have to actually incorporate myself or become a Sole Proprietorship even though I work under a Broker like Long and Foster?
I ask because I want to get a small business loan to help cover the cost of advertising, cards, flyers, etc., and also to pay fees associated with being a Real Estate agent.
I must add I just became an agent and I have not yet joined the board of Realtors or MLS because I cant currently afford to. I have not sold any properties as of yet.
Answer: Entities
An entity is entitled to a tax ID number from the IRS. Use SS4 form or call the IRS in Atlanta.
1. The individual. The individual may do business using given name or a ficticious name. The ficticious name must be filed as DBA (doing business as) with the local government. Then a checking account may be opened in the ficticious name. There is no liability shield in the DBA.
2. The Corporation. There are many types. You probably want a PC or personal corporation like the denstists and doctors use. Also called a 'pass-through' corporation because the assets are typically passed through to the individual. Has the benefit of the corporate shield and low corporate IRS auditing probability. You must follow the rules of the corporation and document all activiries etc etc etc and will need a CPA to do your taxes most likely.
3. The Non-Profit
4. The Irrevocable Trust. Assets placed inside an Irrevocable Trust are credit-proof, meaning that no one who has a claim to your assets (assets in your name) can access the trust assets, not even the IRS.
The drawback is that you must find at least two people you can 'trust' literally with your money and to do what you ask them to do. Sadly most people cannot do this.
However the I. T. may be given any name and is not directly linked to you in the public domain or in any public filings of any kind - it is 'blind'.

How to add maternity on the insurance I already have?
I know little about insurance and I have never been pregnant before. My husband and I may decide to start having children in about a year. I currently have individual blue cross blue shield and I dont believe it covers maternity. Do I call them and select a plan that has it, are there other plans that may suit me better?
What other option are out there? Who qualifies for medicaid?
Answer: Well, you can call them and ask if they will let you add maternity benefits, and how much it would cost. Keep in mind, it's not uncommon to have a seperate maternity deductible of $5,000, and the insurance costing you maybe $100 to $300 a month extra, with a waiting period before conception, of 12 months or longer.
The PROBLEM is, due to this "health care reform", many insurance companies have flat out stopped offering maternity benefits on private policies.
Regarding other options or plans - it will vary wildly depending what state you are in. You're best off talking to an agent or broker in YOUR state, who knows what the options are for your state.
Regarding Medicaid, that, also, is run on a state by state basis. Some states give it to ALL "uninsured" pregnant women, some only pregnant women with household income at 200% of the federal poverty level. You'd want to check your state medicaid website, and the eligibility requirements should be there.

Should the Packers go after a bunch of free agents or should they rely solely on the draft again?
Because that sorry defense needs help. That defense is slower than a turtle. They picked a lot of defensive players last year and those guys ended up being not so good. It just didnt pan out. The Packers are capable of making a Super Bowl run in any year with Rodgers. But he has to have at least some kind of defense. So do the Packers go with defensive free agent pick ups in the offseason or do they rely on the draft again?

Heres a huge question I always had, how is SHIELD a secret organization if people in the Marvel world see these SHIELD agents everywhere they go, like walking around, at restaurants buying things wearing their uniforms.
Like SHIELD agents are even secret agents if everyone sees and knows of them. How are they considered a secret agency?
Answer: It's kind of like an open secret.
All information is classified, yet everybody knows there is an organization named SHIELD. BUT if officials are asked about it, they deny everything ;)

What is the best health insurance for a 25 yr old married couple?
My husband and I are looking for health insurance. I grew up on Blue Cross Blue Shield but I dont know if that is an A rated company or not. Also, what benefits should I look for, what kind of deductible and what kind of qs should I ask?
Answer: As a 25 year old married couple you need to ask yourself a few questions:
1) Are you planning on having children? If so, you want to make sure that the plan you select has maternity coverage. Most straight PPO Indivdiual/Family plans do not offer Maternity Coverage that is reasonable. Depending on your area Blue Cross may offer an HMO based plan that does cover maternity. Be aware - most individual plans that cover maternity have a wait period before the pregnancy will be a covered benefit.
2) You may also want to look at an Health Savings Account (HSA) Qualified plan. Being so young, they afford you a great way to save (tax free) for future medical expenses. Also, because you are young, chances are you will not incur any huge medical expenses - so dont pay the huge premiums for a benefit rich co-pay plan - you will be able to save the premium difference between an HSA Plan and a traditional plan into you your HSA.
3) If you are self-employed - make sure you look for a plan that covers on the job accidents - some plans exclude this coverage, so be sure to ask for a Sample Policy Cert before signing up for any policy
4) Use a local independent agent - they have the most knowledge on the plans that are available in your area.
Hope this helps and good luck!
