When should I consider additional products?april2019-07-13T02:19:17+00:00

When should I consider additional products?

Insurance products are different from major medical health insurance plans such as long term care, disability, and travel insurance. They will not protect you from the individual mandate’s fee for not being insured, but they can be paired with a major medical health insurance plan in order to give you more benefits or fill in gaps where your plan does not cover you. You may hear these insurance products referred to as ancillary benefits, and they can be bought independently from a health insurance plan, or in addition to one.

Is it better to be on exchange or off?april2019-07-13T02:20:35+00:00

Is it better to be on exchange or off?

We work with you to determine where you should shop for coverage. If you qualify for a subsidy and choose to use it on your health plan, then shopping on-exchange is your best option. Roughly 3.5% of the population in the USA qualify for financial assistance. If you don’t qualify for a subsidy, the advantages of shopping off-exchange are substantial. The number one benefit of shopping off-exchange is greater plan choice.
