The initial step in getting low cost health insurance cover is of course to do your research and to find a plan which meets your requirements and which comes in at a price which matches your budget. In many cases this means first looking at any plan which may be offered by your employer which will usually provide you with cover at the best price cost but might not necessarily provide you with the cover you would wish for or cover other members of your family. For other people the search for a suitable insurance plan will start by sifting through the mass of policies on offer from an equally huge number of insurance companies these days.

The next step is then to submit an application for a plan and this means beginning by gathering together all of the required information for your application including things like details of your most recent insurance plan, the details of your family physician and the dates of any recent medical treatment just in case these are needed when it comes to filling out your application form.

Should you have decided to opt for the health insurance scheme provided by your employer then there will often be a qualifying period before you are permitted to join the scheme, but this should not deter you from beginning the application process. The application procedure for an employer's scheme is usually fairly simple because most plans will allow enrollment for eligible employees regardless of things like your present state of health or any pre-existing conditions.

Your employer will usually give you an enrollment form and you will have to fill in your personal information including things like your address, social security number, and any family members who are also to be covered under the plan. You will also need to include details of your employment like the date on which you started work and, where your employer's insurance scheme permits you to do so, the form of insurance cover which you require from the scheme. You may also be asked to give details of any previous insurance plan including details of the insurance company and your plan number but you will not need to submit to a medical examination.

Should you be submitting an application for individual health insurance cover then the procedure will be very much the same but you might not have somebody to help you in processing the application. This said, in many cases insurance companies will send an insurance agent to discuss your application with you and to help you in processing the paperwork on request.

Today the process of applying for health insurance is so easy that many individuals are choosing to apply for cover through the Internet. For this, you simply have to drop by the insurance company's website where you will find an online application form in a secure area of the website. Having entered the required information you simply click on the submit button and your application will then be processed for you by the insurance company.

If in today's climate of rising identity theft you are not comfortable with giving personal information over the Internet then merely telephone the insurance company and ask them to send out the necessary application form which can then be sent in in the usual manner by post.
