 Assurant Health Individual Major Medical Health Insurance Plans

 ASSURANT HEALTH (formerly Fortis Health)
is a Fortune 500 company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under  the symbol AIZ. Assurant has over $26 Billion in Assets and $8 Billion in annual revenue. Assurant Health's multiple  underwriting companies provide health insurance for more than one million people nationwide. The companies'  primary products include individual medical, small group, short-term and student health insurance products, as well as  non-insurance products and consumer-choice products such as Health Savings Accounts. With almost 3,000 employees,  Assurant Health is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and has operations offices in Minnesota, Idaho and Florida,  as well as sales offices across the U.S.

 Assurant Health is the brand name for products underwritten and issued by one or more of Assurant Health's  underwriting companies Time Insurance Company, John Alden Life Insurance Company and Union Security Insurance  Company. ASSURANT Health Plans provide high and low deductible plans with $35 unlimited doctor co pays without  first paying the calendar year deductible. With 100%, 80/20, and 50/50 co-insurance plans, R/X cards are optional with  a $15 co pay for generic prescription drugs with no yearly deductible first, and $25 co pays for brand name drugs after  a once a year $500 deductible has been satisfied. Well care is included immediately with up to $750 per person  allowance yearly on the Max Plan for laboratory tests, tuberculosis test and colonoscopy (subject to deductible). A co  pay is all that is required for office visit charges related to well care visits & well care immunizations. $500 per person  well care allowance on the Core Med Plan available after 6 months of policy ownership. Mammograms, Pap Smears &  PSA tests (prostate) would be covered by the plan but subject to deductible.       

Surgical treatment of tonsils/adenoids will not be covered for a period of 3 months after the policy has been issued. Surgical treatment of bunions, hemorrhoids, inguinal hernia (except strangulated or incarcerated) and varicose veins will not be covered for a period of 6 months after the policy has been issued. Sterilization will not be covered for a period of 12 months after the policy has been issued. These waiting periods are waived when these plans are replacing other similar in-force health insurance coverage. 

It should be noted that Time Insurance company has a very long history of superior claims payment performance. However, since Assurant Health went public as in independent company (separate from Fortis A in Belgium and Fortis B in the Netherlands) there have been several recent news reports regarding their failure to pay claims. These reports can be viewed at the following news media web pages:
