Health – I know how much health insurance coverage I have. I know what benefits provided. I pay insurance premiums when they are due. I have an emergency reserve to meet my deductible, coinsurance amounts, and uninsured medical costs. I keep track of what has been paid and has not been paid. I keep medical records so I can appeal denied claims. If I don’t have health insurance, options for obtaining resources include: Medicaid, Medicare, Veteran’s Administration, Supplemental Security Income (SSI); charitable organizations, PeachCare for Kids Children’s Health Coverage Program – State of Georgia. List dental and vision insurance if you have it.
Long-term care – I have purchased or will consider purchasing long-term care insurance if I am in generally good health and have assets I would like to protect and pass on to heirs.
