Doctors go insurance-free for several reasons, such as decreased reimbursement rates from health insurance companies, and excessive paperwork. In many cases, doctors who do not accept insurance have flat rates, or income-based sliding fee schedules, to keep care affordable. Other providers have monthly, quarterly, or annual fees, where their patients pay in advance, in exchange for a certain number of services or visits. Some may require payment at the time service is rendered each visit.
If your doctor goes insurance-free, talk to the billing office to determine how much care will cost. In some cases, it may not be much more than you would pay with health insurance coverage. Caution here, you may mistakenly feel that insurance is no longer important or necessary. Nothing could be further from the truth! The true cost of health care totally out of your own pocket could devastate you financially. Tests, lab work, prescription coverage, and hospitalization or emergency care can be thousands of dollars. In all cases, if you are determined to stay with your doctor no matter what, until you have a new “enrollment period” so you can switch health insurance options, it is best to pay your doctor, sometimes referred to “cash pay” and keep your insurance for all other necessary reasons. One unforeseen emergency without insurance is why you’ll want to keep insurance. One bout of cancer, an embolism, a heart attack, a strange infection, an accident, so many things that could happen that your 1 specific doctor cannot take care of is why you’d want to keep that insurance plan in place.
If your doctor rejects your health insurance plan, it is a good idea to call the health insurance company and state your case. In some cases, your health insurance provider may honor your appeal. Obviously, this does not happen often, but if your provider is providing a service that no one in your city/county provides, your insurance company may make exceptions for you to continue seeing your provider. You can also ask if your doctor’s office will submit an out-of-network claim on your behalf or provide you with necessary paperwork to file it yourself. You may also inquire about what you would pay out-of-pocket as a cash pay client.
If you find yourself losing your health insurance plan and your new plan does not have your doctor in their network, now what do you do? There are some cases in which you are entitled to continue receiving care from your current medical provider, even if they are no longer within your plan’s network.
In Nevada, if you are actively undergoing medically necessary treatment, many insurance companies will work with their new members on transition of care. Depending on the patient’s need, there are times the insurance company may negotiate with the existing provider to complete their care.
At Nevada Insurance Enrollment, health insurance agents can help you find your plan’s list of in-network providers and understand your coverage for primary and specialty care. If you do not currently have health insurance coverage, we can also help you find a plan that your preferred health care provider accepts.
The vehicle’s history report includes information such as its previous owners, open recalls and damage, accidents, repairs, maintenance history, and odometer readings. If you are buying the vehicle from a dealership, then they will probably provide you with the report if you ask for it.
Every state has its own laws for what you should do with your license plates if you sell your vehicle or cancel your auto insurance policy. In some states, you are allowed to keep personalized and vanity plates, but you must turn in regular license plates.
If you get a recall notice in the mail, read the letter carefully. It describes the issue and outlines any risk that it poses or warning signs that you should pay attention to. It also gives you a timeline within which you have to schedule an appointment with a licensed dealer to have the issue taken care of.

There are numerous health insurance options and navigating the system can feel a little daunting. Unfortunately, scammers take advantage of people’s confusion by pretending to offer cheap, hassle-free help with obtaining health insurance coverage.
This also applies to damage that occurs after the accident. While you may consider the damage from the accident and the damage from the tow truck to be all one incident, your insurer will view it differently.
If your friend was hit by an insured driver, the process will be simple enough. The at-fault driver will file a claim with their insurance company, who will pay to get your vehicle back to pre-accident condition. If the collision was bad enough to cause an injury, the at-fault driver’s auto insurance could also cover medical bills, lost wages and any other expenses associated with the accident.
Generally speaking, anyone who lives with you that has a drivers license – whether they’re a member of your family or not – is considered by your insurer to be a member of your household. College students away from home without a vehicle aren’t required to be on a policy, and could be a “permissive” driver.
