Our resources are designed to make the important stuff easier to understand — whether you're shopping for coverage, reviewing a plan you already have, or simply trying to figure out what your options are.

Start with a question. Explore a topic. Browse a guide.

FAQ

Common questions, answered plainly.

Clear answers to the questions we hear most often about health insurance, Medicare, employee benefits, and protection.

HEALTH INSURANCE
How do I know which health insurance plan is right for me?
There isn't one answer for everyone. Your budget, healthcare needs, preferred doctors and hospitals, prescriptions, network preferences, and expected medical use can all affect which options make sense.
What's the difference between a PPO, HMO, and POS plan?
The biggest differences are generally how you access providers, whether you can go out of network, whether referrals are required, and how costs are structured.
Can I get health insurance outside of the Marketplace?
Depending on your situation, there may be health coverage options outside the ACA Marketplace. Eligibility, underwriting, plan design, and availability can vary, so it's important to compare your options.
Can I change my health insurance outside of Open Enrollment?
Sometimes. Certain qualifying life events may create a Special Enrollment Period. Your options depend on your circumstances and the coverage you're seeking.
SMALL BUSINESS & BENEFITS
What options do small businesses have for employee health benefits?
Depending on the business and its goals, options may include traditional group health insurance, individual coverage with reimbursement arrangements such as HRAs or QSEHRAs, and other benefit strategies.
Do I have to offer health insurance to my employees?
The answer depends on the size and structure of your business and applicable rules. We can help you understand the options and considerations relevant to your situation.
Can I offer health, dental, vision, life, and disability benefits together?
Yes. Benefits can often be combined into a broader employee benefits strategy. The right combination depends on your workforce, budget, and goals.
MEDICARE
When should I start thinking about Medicare?
Ideally, before you need to enroll. Timing can depend on your age, employment status, existing coverage, and other circumstances.
What's the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans?
They work differently and have different approaches to networks, costs, and coverage. We can help you understand the differences and evaluate which type of coverage may fit your needs.
LIFE & PROTECTION
How much life insurance do I need?
It depends on what you want the coverage to accomplish. Family income replacement, debts, mortgages, education costs, business obligations, and long-term goals can all factor into the amount of coverage you consider.
Do I really need disability insurance?
If your income is important to supporting your lifestyle, family, or business, protecting that income can be an important part of your overall financial protection strategy.
