HOW CAN THIS GUIDE HELP YOU?
The Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) has put together
this guide to help you understand your health insurance
coverage and to provide you with tools to obtain the most
from your benefits for all of your healthcare needs.
The PHA's mission is to seek a cure, provide hope, support
and education, promote awareness and advocate for the pulmonary
hypertension community. We hope that this guide will help
you effectively communicate your healthcare concerns with
your insurance company.
Now more than ever, individuals need to get involved when
using their health insurance benefits. Understanding your
health insurance benefits is important in getting your healthcare
expenses reimbursed by your insurance company. It is important
that you communicate with your health insurance company
(and/or your employer benefits administrator) about any
difficulties you encounter in getting reimbursed for your
prescription and medical care costs.
Throughout this guide we have included some "real life"
experiences from patients and their caregivers who provided
feedback during the development of this guide. These stories
include obstacles that individuals have had to overcome
when working with their insurance companies, as well as helpful
suggestions for others based on their experiences. |
