Reader’s Question:
I am getting married soon. I got health insurance in Lawton OK on my own as an individual policy. Is it difficult to make changes to my coverage?

Congratulations, Arthur!
Though you might not be very happy with what you will hear from me. Unlike group health insurance policy, which can allow you to request for changes in writing easily, individual health insurance policies are not very easy to change in Lawton OK. Normally, if you would want to make changes to you individual health insurance policy, you would likely have to re apply…which means you need to undergo the normal application process without any guarantee if your current health insurance plan will accept you again. And if you happen to get enrolled again, the health insurance premium rate you will be paying is not guaranteed to be the same, especially if you were younger and healthier the last time you applied.
However, different health insurance companies in Lawton have different ways of addressing major life events like getting married. You might need to submit an application for your new wife if you want her to be included in your health insurance coverage. The best thing you can do is to check with your current health insurance coverage provider before you decide to apply for coverage elsewhere. This is also the same advise I can give you in case another life changing event happens to you such as having a new addition to your family by giving birth or adoption.
