Asked by Wiki User

For health insurance: Total Charge = Insurance Payment + Insurance Adjustment + Self Pay (+Non-covered) Total Charge = Insurance Payment + Insurance Adjustment + Deductable + Coinsurance + Non covered charges Total Charge= INS + CJR + Deductible + Co +NC EXAMPLE: The Patient is seen for an MRI costing $3500, where the insurace states covered charges are $3000. They are on a 90/10 plan ( based on total charges) with a $500 unmet deductable. Find the following a. Insurace Payment 2150 3500-500-850= 2150 b. Insurance Adjustment 500 3500-3000= 500 c. Patient Responsibility 850 500 + 350 (10% of total 3500) = 850 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE EASYER WAY IS: 1st figure the Insurarace Adjustment 500 3500-3000=500 2nd the Patient Responsibily 850 500 + 350 (10% of total 3500) = 850 3rd Insurance Payment 2150 3500-500-850= 2150

How soon can you make a life insurance claim?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Call the insurance company and ask that they mail, fax or email a claim form to you. You can then make a life insurance claim as soon as you are able to obtain a certified copy of the death certificate which is required to make a claim. The insurance company will then issue a check made payable to the named beneficiaries or to the estate if there are no named beneficiaries.

What are the pros and cons of pet insurance?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pet insurance is very expensive, and like house insurance you can put hundreds of dollars into it and your dog may not require using the health insurance until they are much older. However, health insurance also cuts back the cost of the shots the dogs need during the year. You don't really see the investment in this until your dog has a more major problem.

If you have a large dog with a low-slung back-end (boxers, grey hounds, German Shepherds, etc.) then their chances of having "hip displacia" is almost certain and any procedure the vet will do will be costly. Border Collies are prone to eye problems (some go blind later on and also can have hip problems) and small dogs can have joint or back problems and respiratory problems as well.

The draw-back on Pet Insurance is you have to get it before your dog gets ill with a certain health problem. ie: Your dog has to have x-rays and an operation for hip displacia and then you want the insurance. They won't cover it! If your dog has the above, but has another problem in the body then it will cover this particular problem as long as the dog didn't have it before the time you got the health insurance.

To get the best out of insurance, you would ideally want to insure them as soon as you can. Preferably when they are young like 1 or so because companies wont cover claims it if is a pre-existing conditon. This doesnt mean you shouldn't get insurance when they are older.

Also, please ready each plan carefully and be sure it's a good one for the money. I'd go "mid price" and be sure it covers emergency calls.

Answers from contributors:
  • It pays to look around and educate yourself on the variables possible in a pet insurance policy. Some policies are different from others, make sure you are satisfied with what you are paying for. You should think about what you are looking to cover, if you're trying to cover multiple pets, or older pets. If you are looking for routine care coverage or emergency care coverage, etc. All this plays a factor and different providers specialize in different care. You can usually get pet health insurance at your local veterinarian clinic or animal hospital.
  • Always ask your veterinarian first about pet health and make sure the pet insurance company is licensed in your state.
  • Check with your vet to find out who provides the best pet insurance.
  • Check with a local pet shop.
  • You can also check with your vet but also do your homework, because you don't want any surprises when you file a claim. Be certain to be truthful on all application documents.
  • The safest way to check into buying insurance to cover a pet is to talk to the vet that you use. There are many different insurance plans offered out there, but what would matter is which insurance they will accept. Also consider if you do any traveling what would be most widely accepted.
  • Congratulations on your "baby." You sound like an extremely good pet owner so I suggest you talk to you vet and they will give you several different pet insurance programs you can join up with. Please read their policies carefully and be sure you are getting the best bang for your buck. I would not use the internet to get your pet insurance. The vet is a phone call away.

Most insurance policies are "indemnity products", meaning that the company pays all or most of the costs incurred.

However, there also exist "discount plans". These differ from indemnity plans in that they offer a discount from what would be the regular fee charged by the veterinarian. These plans are much less costly than true insurance, but they also provide a different kind of benefit. Understand that you are financially responsible for the payment of the fees, although they are discounted. You also must enroll in the plan and the sponsor of it charges an enrollment fee.

You must also be aware that veterinarians often stop their involvement in the plans, and therefore no longer offer the discounts that you were counting on. Therefore, it is important, before you join or use the plan that you ensure that the vet still participates.

Do vets get kick backs from pet insurance companies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes they do get kick backs from the insurance on the pet!!!!!!!

I'm not sure I'd agree with the word "kickback." This normally implies something underhanded, and that's not normally the case at all. If a vet works on your pet, he/she will give you a bill. If you have pet health insurance the insurance company will pay the bill for you, just like medical insurance for people pays their medical bills. This is just normal business procedure, not an illegal or under-the-table kickback. With the prices that vets charge these days, it might be tempting to consider the possibility of something criminal, but in the case of reimbursements by insurance companies, this is not the case.

Pet Insurance is completely legitimate and no, they do not get "kickbacks".

What happens when pure water and salt water mix?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Salt-water and fresh-water are not different immiscible substances. Salt water is simply water with dissolved ions in it, which, when compared relatively to a body of fresh water, is denser. However, taking fresh water and adding it to salt-water, or the other way around, simply dilutes the concentration of ions and makes the whole solution less dense. The ions will be evenly distributed throughout the new solution, barring temperature, pressure, and other differences. What can occur in the real-world large-scale of the oceans however, is that differential evaporation and precipitation rates, and other effects, can cause some level of stratification. Look up halocline, for example.
