Self employed and turning 26. I had been on my parents plan and sending them a check every month since it's cheaper than buying my own, but now I need to shop for myself... anywhere to get bonus miles?

I put it on my CSP every month automatically. jkoenig51 May 9, 12, 1:51 pm fortis ins takes CC kdoughboy May 9, 12, 4:05 pm Kaiser takes credit card payments. traplake May 9, 12, 4:42 pm BCBS in Michigan will NOT take credit cards. Really ticks me off. Pay them $1300 a month for health care insurance and can't pay it with any card. flyer31 May 9, 12, 11:13 pm If you are in a location where you can get the Kaiser Permenente group then they accept credit cards. Good Luck MrHalliday May 9, 12, 11:18 pm My expensive insurance provider has taken MC and VISA for years, and recently added AX, which has been critical to making spend for the various lucrative AX card MR promos. ^ MelanieS May 9, 12, 11:21 pm healthnet is going to stop taking CC on 07/01/2012. :( maccoinnich May 10, 12, 12:50 am Never mind miles: my health insurer has decided to stop offering health insurance to me, and 20,000 other Oregonians (http://www.oregonlive.com/health/index.ssf/2012/05/regence_bluecross_blueshield_t.html). Sigh. Stubtify May 10, 12, 8:34 am Anthem Doesn't take CC on their website, but will take CC payments over the phone, no additional fee. Call the number on your card. peachfront May 10, 12, 9:29 am You really need to get a job that offers health insurance or a spouse with same. You won't be 26 forever. I wish someone had warned me about the true costs of being self-employed when I was your age. Bonus miles/points is a triviality compared to what you stand to lose when your claim is denied or your insurance is canceled just because you passed a birthday. OK, just my two cents. Maybe things will change in 2014 but I wouldn't plan my life around it. The first concern should be, who will actually sell your the health insurance as a self-employed person and DO THEY ACTUALLY PAY CLAIMS? |
