I'm Overweight...Am I qualified for health insurance?

By Graham McKenzie

The world is doing all it can to make health insurance available to everyone. Unfortunately this isn't always the case, as many citizens are sometimes left unprotected.

However these coverages are usually quite poor and basic, not staying up to par with the intense medical advancements and costs associated with the moving technology.

A lot of South African businesses are doing there part, by instating health insurance coverage for all their employees. These employees are not only granted with compensation each week for their work, but also insurance coverage that helps pay for basic health costs and more serious issues.

The rest of the nation that is not covered by employee benefits must take an alternative route. Either they can stick with state health coverage and their poor options or upgrade and seek a private insurance company. You can contact these private health insurance brokers in person or online.

The insurance broker will request a medical physical after coming into contact with the provider. They will schedule a date and time that fits with your busy schedule. At the medical physical, a doctor or medical assistant will study your health. One of the most important aspects of the physical is determining the quality of your vital organs, including heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver.

The doctors are required to ask you personal questions at the appointment. These questions will range from your diet and exercising habits, to whether you smoke or do elicit drugs. While these questions are embarrassing, you must answer them honestly. The doctor will also take into account your weight and if it could improve.

The doctor must also examine your family's history of medical problems or mental illness. Through your family tree, the doctor can predict and assess the chances of you catching one of these hereditary diseases.

After the physical is completed, the doctor will fax the information over to your insurance provider. The insurance agency will examine your medical records closely and heed to any advice from the doctor. Entire staffs at insurance agencies spend their entire day judging these reports and deciding who and who doesn't qualify for health insurance.

Unless you are extremely overweight, abuse your body in one way or another, or have extreme past problems and health concerns ? an insurance broker is likely to accept.

Take care of your body, eat properly, and exercise. These three simple steps will leading to a more satisfied and happy you, and will also greatly reduce the odds of an insurance agency accepting you into their family. - 23211
