I recently received a message from a reader who was looking for advice on renewing her health insurance. While I’m not able to answer individual questions on health insurance, I can certainly give some advice about the switching process. Health insurance only kicks in if a patient opts for private services in a public hospital or a private hospital. Waiting times occur when consumers opt to increase their insurance level or take out health insurance for the first time. I like to say I’m handy around technology, but even at that, renewing my health insurance continues to be challenging.
