How Newlyweds Should Think About Health Insurance

CONGRATS, you’re married! Now that you’ve tied the knot, it’s time to talk about something that sounds boring but can save you a ton of headaches: health insurance.

Yes, insurance might not feel romantic, but here’s the thing: life is unpredictable, and you do not want your first big fight to be over a hospital bill.

Keep These in Mind

  • Cover both of you: Even if one of you is healthier than a marathon runner, accidents and surprises happen.
  • Plan for the future: Think about potential pregnancies, chronic conditions, or lifestyle-related risks.
  • Watch for hidden costs: Co-pays, sub-limits, and exclusions can turn a “comprehensive” policy into a partial one.
  • Network matters: Pick a plan that covers hospitals near you. No one wants a three-hour drive for a claim.

Combine or Separate?

  • Joint policy: Can be cheaper and simpler, but check if it limits coverage for individual needs.
  • Individual policies: Offer flexibility, especially if one partner has pre-existing conditions.
