A health insurance scheme organized in a workplace that has a family plan that covers a member witha dependent spouse and children under 10 years of age.
Use the information above to answer the following questions:
1. Bella works with the oils company and has bought a health insurance plan for herself and her 4 children, ages 2, 7, 9, and her dependent husband. What fortnightly amount would Bella be paying for her health insurance?
To calculate Bella's fortnightly amount for health insurance, we need to consider that the family plan covers a member with a dependent spouse and children under 10 years of age. Since Bella has a dependent spouse and 3 children under 10 years old, she meets the criteria for the family plan.
Let's assume the total cost of the family plan is $500 per fortnight. Since Bella has purchased the family plan for herself, her dependent husband, and her 3 children under 10 years old, she would need to pay an additional fee for the fourth child (age 9).
Therefore, Bella's fortnightly amount for health insurance would be:
$500 (family plan cost) + additional fee for child age 9
The additional fee for the fourth child, age 9, would depend on the specific pricing structure of the health insurance scheme. Bella would need to contact her HR department or the health insurance provider to determine the exact amount.
