Question 1

What does a "$0 deductible" really mean?

Accepted Answer

It means that for the covered benefits on your plan, you are not required to pay a set amount out of your own pocket before your coverage starts paying. On many of the private plans I offer, benefits such as doctor visits, specialist visits and covered procedures begin paying from day one — with $0 copay options on select benefits — so a medical event doesn't turn into thousands of dollars of upfront cost.

Question 2

What is a PPO network and why is it beneficial?

Accepted Answer

A PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) is a nationwide network of doctors, specialists and hospitals. With a nationwide PPO you are not locked into one small local network or forced to get a referral before seeing a specialist — you can keep your own doctor, travel with confidence, and get care at the hospital you trust.

Question 3

Can I get coverage outside of the Open Enrollment period?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Marketplace (ACA) plans generally require Open Enrollment or a qualifying life event, but the private health plans I offer are available year-round. That means if you just lost employer coverage, moved, or simply can't wait until November, we can very likely get you protected this month.

Question 4

How do I know if I qualify for a Marketplace subsidy?

Accepted Answer

Subsidy eligibility depends on your household size, your estimated annual income and whether affordable coverage is offered through an employer. I review your numbers with you, run both the subsidized Marketplace option and the private option side by side, and show you honestly which one delivers more coverage for your money.

Question 5

What are the risks of being uninsured or underinsured?

Accepted Answer

A single accident or critical illness can create six-figure medical bills, and thin coverage with a $7,000+ deductible can leave you paying for care you thought was covered. The goal of our conversation is simple: make sure that if something serious happens, your plan protects your health and your savings.

Question 6

I am licensed in Florida, Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Georgia and Tennessee, and I work with individuals, families and small business owners across all ten.
