How can you effectively utilize your individual health insurance plan? It starts by becoming an active participant in your own health and healthcare. Remember – the best offense is a great defense. In other words, learn the importance of preventive care while you’re young and healthy.

Health Screenings.
Hospitals, clinics and community groups in Dallas, Houston and throughout Texas often hold health screenings. Sometimes for free, more often for a nominal fee. Find out about health screenings in your area and be sure to get them.

Eat Well.
A healthy, balanced diet can help you avoid a multitude of health problems, including obesity, heart disease and adult-onset diabetes. It also helps with many pre-existing conditions, like high blood pressure and depression. And on top of all that, it’ll make you feel pretty darn good.

Begin an Exercise Program Today!
Studies show that even moderate exercise three times per week can offset an adult’s risk for heart attack, stroke and certain cancers. So don’t wait. Stop the excuses and just get out there and do it.

Ask questions. Listen for answers.
Talk to your doctor and, if you have any concerns, let him/her know immediately. In addition, know what prescriptions you’re taking, when to take them and what not to mix with them. Ask about the risks and benefits of each test and treatment you undergo. Make sure you understand your doctor’s answers. Feel free to take notes, especially if things sound confusing.

When in doubt, put it down on paper.
Speaking of taking notes, remember to keep a log or diary of symptoms, concerns or unusual problems that may occur. That way, when you go in to see a doctor, you’ll have a clear record. Also, make sure to keep a folder with a record of treatments, vaccinations, lab tests, drug reactions and side effects.

Know your Health Insurance Plan
Even though it’s not a whole lot of fun, you should definitely read and reread your health insurance policy – particularly the information on benefits, coverage, exclusions and limits. If your plan sends you a newsletter or magazine, read that as well. Stay on top of policy changes and new services that may affect your overall care.

Knowing how to obtain care.
Don’t wait until you’re nearly on the floor writhing in pain to learn coverage specifics like urgent-care hours and how to schedule appointments. Do it while you’re feeling good. Don’t forget to find out how, and where, to get lab tests, as well as what number to call in an emergency.

If Something Goes Wrong!
If you have a bad experience with your Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) managed health care provider, you have the right to complain. Contact the member services division of your plan immediately for more information on how to register a complaint. All health insurance plans (Preferred Provider Organizations, or PPOs, as well as HMOs) have grievance or appeals processes. During the complaint process, make sure to save records of all correspondence, claim forms and copies of bills. Also keep a log of phone conversations and names of the people you’ve spoken to.

If this process doesn’t solve your problem, you might consider bringing the matter to the Texas insurance commissioner or department of health. Medicare or Medicaid recipients may file a grievance with the state’s Medicaid program as well as the Texas medical peer review organization.

Know Your Rights.
If you are in an HMO plan, you have the right to: change your primary care doctor, switch plans during open enrollment (if you are in a group plan at work), ask for copies of your test results and medical records, refuse treatment, disagree with your plan’s decisions and use their appeals process.

Remember – it’s your health – take charge of it and life will be that much better because of your participation.

Insurance fraud. It happens daily. There are a number of bogus health insurance companies and agents in Dallas, Houston or anywhere else in Texas who will take your money and run. So, before you purchase health insurance for your employees or your business, make sure the insurance company you’re dealing with is legitimate. Start by checking your insurance agent’s credentials to be sure he or she is licensed to sell insurance in Texas.

An insurance scam artist may act without a license or use fictitious documents to appear legitimate. The following information will provide what you need to make the right decision when purchasing health insurance for your business or individual employees. The scammers are out there just waiting for you to take the wrong step. Make sure you know what’s waiting for you before you get scammed out of a lot of money.

In the last couple of years, the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) has shut down 51 agents and 10 companies for selling unauthorized insurance. There are currently 376 open investigations against suspected unauthorized insurance scams in Texas.

The first thing is to check to see if a potential company is authorized to sell insurance. Then check to see if your insurance agent or agency is licensed. If you fail to find your company or insurance agency, don’t assume it’s unauthorized. Check with your agent for more information. Or verify by calling TDI’s toll-free Consumer Helpline weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 1-800-252-3439. Insurance company data is usually updated at 7 a.m. each business day.

Businesses, school districts and individuals are bilked out of thousands of dollars each year by scam artists who misrepresent themselves as insurance agents. So, while the search for affordable health insurance can be a daunting task, don’t blindly follow an agent. But did you know you run the risk of purchasing a phony policy even if you work with a legitimate agent? At times, even experienced agents can unknowingly sell illegal insurance products. Though honest agents will do their level best to avoid such circumstances, it can still happen. Worst of all, you could be on the hook for a wide range of costs and expenses that you thought your insurance was covering.

The typical health insurance scam moves pretty fast. Scam agents flood the market to help generate as many quick sales as possible. Often, payments will be requested up front to help ensure they get as much money as possible before they disappear. After the fake agents have reached their goal, they simply sit back and watch the monthly payments roll in. Then, just as quickly as they appeared, they are gone, only to re-appear later under a new name and a new scam. The individual or company may never know they’ve been duped until, after thousands of dollars in premiums have been paid, they then try and file a claim.

It’s important to know what to look for. Here are some of the most common signs that an insurance company may be a scammer:
They claim extremely low rates, or offer minimal or no underwriting.
The health plan will accept almost anyone, including those with pre-existing or serious illnesses.
The plan claims to be federal, not state regulated. (ERISA or union plans, for example)
Sales pitches that avoid the word “insurance” or the use of certain insurance terminology even though it operates like insurance. For instance, it pays “consultant fees” instead of commissions, or refers to premiums as “contributions.”
The product claims to be “fully funded,” “fully insured,” or “reinsured” but agents are not told the name of the carrier insuring or underwriting the product.

Sometimes the path may seem clear and the choice easy, but in an effort to save money, there may be some things that aren’t clearly visible at first glance. So how can you avoid the scammers? Check out each insurance company and agent you deal with. It only takes a little extra time, but the effort could possibly save you headache, heartache, and thousands of dollars down the road.

RundgrenRadio.com presents Todd Rundgren in Dallas, TX this April as part of the “Todd Rundgren’s Johnson” tour. The show will be held at Trees on April 20th. More information is available at www.treesdallas.com.

Todd’s new album “Todd Rundgren’s Johnson” features his interpretations of 12 songs originally written and recorded by Delta blues guitar legend Robert Johnson. Some of the songs recorded by Robert Johnson that shaped the course of blues and rock ‘n’ roll were recorded in a studio at 508 Park Avenue in Dallas, TX in 1937. The tunes, including “Love in Vain,” “Hellhound on My Trail” and “Me and the Devil Blues,” made a huge impact on countless acts, from Muddy Waters to Eric Clapton/Cream to Led Zeppelin to the Rolling Stones.

Drawing heavily from his forthcoming album the show will consist of a combination of Johnson classics and guitar hero Todd staples. In addition to Rundgren, the band lineup for this tour includes Kasim Sulton (a member of Todd’s band Utopia), Jesse Gress (of the Tony Levin Band), and Prairie Prince (a founding member of art-rock band The Tubes).
