11:30 pm
your deductible. that's because there's a direct link between your deductible, and your premium. the more you're willing to pay up front, the less you pay for insurance coverage. as an example. if i take car insurance with a $250 deductible, and i compare it to a $1,000 deductible, that's going to save 15 to 20% off of the annual premium. so if you have access to other funds; like a savings account, a credit card or a home equity loan, use that to cover the higher deductible. do not pay an insurance company to insure a risk that you can readily insure on your own. and here's another little secret for saving money on your health insurance. the next time you visit the doctor's office, ask for a cash price. they'll typically offer a lower price, if it means they don't have to process the payment through your insurance. but be sure to keep your receipts. and when the receipts total your deductible, you can send them to the insurance company.> so...
