Now, for your Health Insurance bullet points and what is going on currently;

This year there was a shorter enrollment period than in previous years, so it was important to act quickly.

In California, Open Enrollment Dates ran from November 1st through January 31st during the year 2020.

That does not mean you are totally out of options, because you might have a qualifying life event to choose a plan outside of those dates, in fact, currently if you where unaware or unsure that there is a penalty for not having Health Insurance Coverage during the year 2020 you may qualify and you probably want to request a time to speak with us to make sure you provide the right information to the right Insurance Provider.

Qualifying Life Events may be;

  • Moving
  • Losing Group Coverage
  • Change in Income
  • Turning 26 and being shifted from your Family Plan
  • For a full list here is a link to the California Department of Insurance

Some Basics about Major Medical Health Plans to Consider;

Choosing a health insurance plan can be complicated. Here are a few things before you compare plans can make it simpler.

  • There are 4 metal categories: These health insurance plan categories – Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. These categories show you how you and your plan share costs.
  • Your total costs for health care: You pay a monthly bill to your insurance company, known as a premium, as you would for any insurance you have. You pay out-of-pocket costs, including a deductible, when you get care. It’s important to think about both kinds of costs when shopping for a plan.
  • Plan and network types — There are various plan and network types from which to choose. They are HMO, PPO, POS, and EPO: Some plan types allow you to use almost any doctor or health care facility, while others limit your choices or charge you more if you use providers outside their network. We can help you understand the difference.

What do you want to consider when selecting your insurance plan;

  • Could I qualify for Tax Credit help from Covered California based off of my income?
  • Should I pay more to lower my Deductible and Co-Pays or would I be better off in the long run with a more affordable plan?
  • Should I pay more for a PPO, or should I save money and select an HMO, after all the plans are required to cover the same procedures
  • Are the doctors I want to see in network, and if I have something other than an emergency, which Hospitals are in network?
  • Does the Insurance Company provide great service to me and my Insurance Broker?
  • Should I manage my selections on my own or should I ask for help?
  • If I go through Covered California, what are all the implications to the answers I am giving, can it change the way my coverage might work?...  The answer is yes by the way...
  • How do I check on my Broker or Agents License Status or what Insurance Companies they can offer?  answer... check CA DOI License Check, here is one of our agents, Jessica L. Dreiling.

How do I run my options or get the information with respect to my options;

  • Hit the Quote button and select Individual Quote for you or your family, this is very easy, just a few clicks and you will have your information.
  • Make sure we know whether or not to call you in the comments
  • Make sure you put accurate Age and Zip Code for each person you want the quotes for.  Otherwise the quote can be entirely off by rates and plans available.
