Health Care Reform Scams

Enactment of the new health care reform law has spawned fraud schemes by which individuals are seeking to sell bogus policies through 1-800 numbers and by going door to door. They may try to tell you that, under the reform law, you will need to buy new health insurance. These pitches may come to you in the form of phony emails, fraudulent online ads, door to door or by way of pushy telemarketers.

The scams may promise a variety of bogus benefits. They may include fake coverage, where you end up making huge payments for a worthless piece of paper with totally worthless benefits. Some may even offer enticements such as medical discount cards, which are also worthless.

There will be new insurance options in the near future, including a high-risk pool for those blocked out of insurance coverage due to preexisting conditions and new insurance protections that begin in September.

Consumers also should beware of deceptive policies that are time-limited, offer limited benefits or advertise themselves as required by health insurance reform.

It always pays to do business with someone you know and trust to make sure you have the right plan for the right premium and be with People You Can Count On!
