INSURANCE FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES
Dental & Vision Plans
We know that going to the dentist and the eye doc is no fun. But if you’re here, you know how important having insurance and taking care of your eyes and teeth are. With the right insurance plan, regular checkups can be close to free for you.
Ancillary, Supplement & Travel Plans
Ancillary health insurance products (supplements) are additional coverages that may be added to your health insurance plan. These include short and long-term disability, long-term care, cancer and critical illness, and accidental death and dismemberment. Travel insurance can be purchased as a stand alone policy or as a supplement to your current health plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which plan is best for me and my family?
Start by learning how health insurance works. Make a list of questions before you choose a health plan. Gather information about your household income and set your budget for health insurance. Learn the difference between different types of plans (like PPO, HMO, and POS) so you can decide which one is best for you and your family. Learn more at Healthcare.gov or schedule a free consultation with Jason Vance here.
I have Medicare. Will my Medicare coverage change under the health reform law?
You will continue to be covered through the Medicare program. The new law does not cut Medicare benefits or increase seniors’ out-of-pocket Medicare costs or deny seniors end-of-life care. Medicare beneficiaries are already receiving some additional benefits as a result of the law. They include an annual wellness exam at no cost, no cost-sharing for preventive services and increased discounts on prescription drugs.
What is the difference between bronze, silver, gold and platinum plans?
In order to be included in the Health Insurance Marketplace, each insurance company can offer four different types of “qualified” health insurance plans– Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
A Bronze Plan will cover 60% of health care costs with the consumer responsible for paying 40%. For Silver Plans, insurance companies pay 70% of costs and the consumer pays 30%. For Gold Plans, the split is 80%-20% and for Platinum, the split is 90%-10%. In general, the more the company covers, the more the consumer will pay for the premiums.
For those with income below 250% of the federal poverty level, there are limits on costs that consumers must pay, depending on the plan they choose. For example, someone with income between 100% and 133% of the poverty level who is enrolled in a Silver Plan will pay only approximately 6% of health care costs and the insurance company will pay 94%. Those above 250% of poverty will still pay 30% in a Silver Plan.
What’s the difference between a deductible, a copayment, and coinsurance?
All three are medical charges you must pay out of your own pocket, even if you have insurance. Your deductible is the initial amount you must pay each year for covered health services before your insurer will start to chip in. Plans may have separate individual and family deductibles and/or deductibles for separate services such as hospitalization. A copayment is a fixed amount you pay toward each medical service, such as $25 for a checkup. Coinsurance is a fixed percentage, rather than a flat amount, that you pay toward each service.
