Evaluating Your Health Plan
Our most popular package is the Personal Healthcare Coverage Review.
We help you explore your benefit alternatives from private health plans (e.g.,
employer-sponsored coverage, COBRA, individual insurance), foundations,
public programs, free and/or discounted healthcare. This involves a
personalized assessment of your goals, issues, and concerns to help find best
plan to address them.
Our staff has written 100’s of insurance contracts and negotiated 1,000’s
more. We evaluate:
How does the HMO or insurance company compare?
- Is it accredited? (This goes beyond being merely licensed by a state.)
- How strong is it financially? Will it be around when you need it?
- What grade does it get from consumers for service and quality?
Do costs and coverage meet your needs?
