North Carolina Health Insurance

What is a PPO plan?

A PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan is a health plan where favored service providers, such as doctors and hospitals, have a contract with an insurance company or a health plan to offer service for their policyholders. Generally, the preferred service provider agreed to accept an insurance company's usual payment. If you have a PPO contract, and do not use the preferred service providers, you will likely pay more for services rendered by the physician or hospital.

Am I required to get Homeowners Insurance for my home?

No, you are not required by law to get Homeowners Insurance to cover your home.

For instance, in areas prone to flooding, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, insurance is required by banks and lenders before making a loan. You never know when disaster may strike and leave your home damaged or even destroyed. For this reason, it is not a good idea to be without homeowners insurance.
