Our knowledgeable agents will guide you through the process of selecting the best plan that meets your healthcare needs and financial situation.
Health insurance helps cover the cost of medical expenses, from routine check-ups to major surgeries. You pay a monthly premium, and in return, the insurance company pays a portion of your healthcare costs, reducing your out-of-pocket expenses.
The main types of health insurance plans include Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs), Exclusive Provider Organizations (EPOs), and Point of Service (POS) plans. Each type has different networks, costs, and rules for seeing specialists.
Consider factors like your budget, health needs, preferred doctors, and medication coverage. Compare plans based on premiums, deductibles, copayments, and the network of healthcare providers.
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged savings account paired with high-deductible health plans (HDHPs). You can use HSA funds to pay for qualified medical expenses, and contributions are tax-deductible, grow tax-free, and withdrawals for eligible expenses are tax-free.
Depending on your plan, you may need a referral from your primary care physician (PCP) to see a specialist. PPO and POS plans typically allow more flexibility in seeing specialists without a referral, while HMOs and EPOs often require one.
