Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

  • Don't assume health insurance covers everything-review deductibles and out-of-pocket costs.

  • Check benefit payout amounts and covered conditions-know exactly what triggers a payment.

  • Understand how family coverage works-spouses and dependents may be included.

  • Look at how policies integrate with other voluntary benefits for a complete protection strategy.
