Why it's important to understand Network Repricing
Have you ever heard of network repricing when it comes to health insurance? Most of my clients haven’t even understand. They’ll get very frustrated about the word deductible, and they hate the fact that they’re paying hundreds of dollars a month or whatever. They pay for an insurance premium and they think they have zero upfront benefit. And that’s just not true when you do have health insurance out of the gates, you get what’s called network repricing.
That’s why it’s so important that you stay within your network. And what that means is your doctor has entered into a fee for service schedule with that particular insurance provider. So if you’re going without insurance for an MRI, there’s a retail rate. But if you go in saying, hey, I have a UnitedHealthcare, do you take my plan?.
And they say, yes, there’s a wholesale rate, you will get to pay the wholesale rate for services because of network repricing. Call us if you want help being educated on your health insurance and you need a good broker.
Main Points
- Lack of Awareness about Network Repricing
Many clients are unfamiliar with network repricing and how it impacts health insurance costs. This lack of awareness can lead to frustration, especially when clients perceive that their insurance premiums offer minimal immediate benefits. - Deductibles and Perceived Value
Clients often feel frustrated by terms like “deductible” and may believe they’re paying high premiums without upfront benefits. This perception can create dissatisfaction, leading clients to question the value of their health insurance. - Network Repricing Benefits
The transcript explains that having insurance provides the benefit of network repricing, which applies when patients stay within their insurance network. Network repricing allows for discounted rates due to an agreement between healthcare providers and insurers, offering a “wholesale” rate for medical services instead of the retail rate uninsured individuals might pay. - Example of Network Repricing
An example is given to clarify: if a patient needs an MRI, they would face a high retail cost if uninsured. However, if insured and using an in-network provider, they benefit from a wholesale rate, often saving them a significant amount on the procedure. - Importance of Staying In-Network
Staying within the network is emphasized as essential for clients to access these discounted rates. The transcript advises confirming network status with providers to ensure coverage benefits - Call to Action for Broker Assistance
