Para esos casos existen dos productos que conviene entender bien antes de firmar nada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"aca-entradilla\"><strong>Cuando alguien no califica para un plan del Marketplace<\/strong> \u2014o no puede asumir su costo\u2014 aparecen alternativas que no son cobertura integral. Las dos m\u00e1s comunes son los <strong>planes de descuento m\u00e9dico<\/strong> y los <strong>seguros de indemnizaci\u00f3n fija<\/strong>. Sirven para cosas concretas y tienen l\u00edmites claros.<\/p>\n<h2>Plan de descuento m\u00e9dico: precios negociados, no cobertura<\/h2>\n<p>Es una membres\u00eda, no un seguro. A cambio de una cuota, el afiliado accede a una red de m\u00e9dicos, laboratorios, dentistas y farmacias con precios negociados. Lo que se paga en la consulta es el precio del convenio, no el precio de lista.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>No paga reclamos ni cubre hospitalizaci\u00f3n.<\/strong> Nadie va a pagar la factura de una cirug\u00eda por tener esta tarjeta.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sirve<\/strong> para consultas puntuales, laboratorio, limpieza dental o medicamentos de uso com\u00fan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No sirve<\/strong> como protecci\u00f3n frente a una enfermedad grave: un buen descuento no es lo mismo que una cobertura.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Indemnizaci\u00f3n fija: paga un monto, no la factura<\/h2>\n<p>Esto s\u00ed es un seguro, pero de un tipo particular: en lugar de pagar el costo real del servicio, paga una cantidad fija por d\u00eda de hospitalizaci\u00f3n, por visita o por procedimiento, seg\u00fan lo que diga la p\u00f3liza. El dinero se entrega al afiliado y este lo usa como quiera.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>La ayuda es predecible<\/strong> (sabes cu\u00e1nto paga cada evento) pero <strong>no proporcional<\/strong>: si la factura es de 40.000 d\u00f3lares y la p\u00f3liza paga 1.000, el resto sigue siendo tuyo.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No es cobertura completa.<\/strong> No cumple los requisitos de cobertura m\u00ednima del ACA y no reemplaza a un plan de salud.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Puede tener<\/strong> per\u00edodos de espera, exclusiones por condiciones previas y topes anuales. Todo eso est\u00e1 en la p\u00f3liza y hay que leerlo antes de firmar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Cuatro preguntas antes de decidir<\/h2>\n<p>Si te ofrecen uno de estos productos, haz estas preguntas y pide la respuesta por escrito:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa si me hospitalizan?<\/strong> \u00bfCu\u00e1nto paga exactamente y por cu\u00e1ntos d\u00edas?<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 NO cubre?<\/strong> Exclusiones, per\u00edodos de espera y condiciones previas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 m\u00e9dicos y hospitales participan<\/strong> y en qu\u00e9 zona?<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00bfCu\u00e1nto es el costo total al a\u00f1o<\/strong>, sumando cuota y gastos de bolsillo?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"aca-cita\">\n<p>\u00abNinguno de estos productos es cobertura del Marketplace ni sustituye a un plan de salud completo.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p><span>Antes de contratar, verifica qu\u00e9 est\u00e1s comprando<\/span><\/div>\n<h2>El primer paso siempre es el mismo<\/h2>\n<p>Antes de buscar alternativas, vale la pena confirmar si realmente no calificas. Muchas personas creen que no pueden optar a un plan del Marketplace y s\u00ed pueden, o desconocen que su situaci\u00f3n cambi\u00f3 con el a\u00f1o. Esa revisi\u00f3n se hace una vez y evita decisiones caras.<\/p>\n<p class=\"aca-cierre\"><strong>Si quieres saber si calificas o no,<\/strong> revisa las opciones de <a href=\"https:\/\/liveinsurance2020.com\/en\/obamacare\/\">Health (Obamacare)<\/a> o escr\u00edbenos desde <a href=\"https:\/\/liveinsurance2020.com\/en\/contacto\/\">Contact<\/a>.
