New City New Health Insurance
While moving to a new city is an exciting time for some, the journey can prove stressful as the little details of starting a new life start to take shape. Finding new doctors, updating or replacing existing insurance coverage or securing new health insurance may find itself on the list of details for many new residents and their families.

Chief executive officer David Dahan of Orgill/Singer & associates, one of the largest independent, multi-line insurance brokerages in Nevada, offers advice on how new residents can find much-needed information on health insurance matters. “As available insurance information and rates are constantly changing, it is highly beneficial for new residents to consult an insurance agent or broker at the start of their search,” says Dahan. “A conscientious insurance professional will be able to help you identify what are the appropriate insurance policies for you and your family, as well as answer any questions that may arise.”

While many newcomers may have health insurance from their new employers, there are times when a person may be between jobs, self-employed, or simply just cannot afford a comprehensive health insurance plan. Dahan suggests temporary health insurance as an option. “A temporary health insurance plan is ideal for people in non-traditional careers, temporary employees, people in the middle of a career transition and self-employed individuals just to name a few,” says Dahan. “Ask your insurance broker if temporary health Insurance is right for you.

"After a new health insurance plan is in place, residents may want to find out more information on the healthcare professionals servicing this industry." For example, is your doctor board certified? Has he or she had action taken against them from the state or had complaints filed against them from former patients? "Before selecting a new physician, you may want additional information on their credentials and practice history,” says Dahan. “To find out if a doctor is board certified and other general in-formation, consult the Nevada State board of Medical examiners for medical doctors and the Nevada State board of osteopathic Medicine for doctors of osteopathy.”
