Reading current articles and watching the news (seeing so much frustration) and watching videos like the one below, confirms our conviction on why it’s vital to assign a licensed health Insurance agent to your account.
Did you know that nationally 85% of all folks that used a Health Insurance broker to help them were very happy they used a broker! Our goal is much higher than that. We want ALL of our customers happy! Having a broker assist you during the enrollment period, and throughout the rest of the year, costs you nothing and is so important. Countless problems occurred during this past “Open Enrollment“ season and not having someone to assist you would be frustrating. Long hold times, a very slow (and sometimes not working) website and dealing with customer service personnel that don’t know your personal situation.
Agents and brokers not only help you overcome these obstacles, but also understand the health insurance plans, how they work, and how their benefits will protect you individually. Plus, they understand the networks, the doctors and the hospitals that you can use. They will listen to you and understand your pharmacy needs and everything else involved in getting the right plan and the right support along with it.
Now that the IRS is involved with making sure you have a “qualified health plan” in place, you’ll want to avoid the penalties if at all possible. Understanding how to avoid those penalties is important. Now you may, however, calculate that a penalty is cheaper for you than buying a health plan, and you may want different options. A broker can discuss these important issues. There are so many new rules with health care reform, wouldn’t you want a friendly, educated, pro-active broker on your side?
Assigning a Licensed Health Insurance Agent to your account will allow that agent to be your advocate for any of your health insurance needs. This includes understanding the “Affordable Care Act“ also known as “Obamacare” (Health Care Reform). We’ll assist you when enrolling into a “qualified health plan” whether you use Nevada Health Link or not.

Auto Insurance Coverage When Driving in a Different State
Auto insurance coverage can be confusing, largely because insurance laws and requirements vary greatly from one state to another. As a Nevada driver, you’re required to carry liability insurance in the amounts of 25/50/20 (learn more about state minimum coverage here). However, in states like Arizona where coverage runs cheaper, state minimum coverage is a little skimpier.

Health Insurance Could Become The Wild Wild West Once Again
At least for now, many aspects of ACA are still in place. Currently, an insurer can’t turn you away for a pre-existing condition, and long-term health insurance plans still have to provide coverage for ACA’s 10 essential health care benefits. Prior to 2010, private health insurance usually did not cover maternity, or preventative like it does now, and mental health was generally non-existent.
