βœ… You make tax-free contributions to the account
βœ… Make tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses
βœ… You own the accountβ€”it stays with you even if you change jobs or retire

πŸ“Œ Tip: To contribute, you must be enrolled in a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).

You can use HSA dollars to pay for:
βœ”οΈ Copays & deductibles
βœ”οΈ Dental & vision care
βœ”οΈ Prescription drugs
βœ”οΈ Medicare premiums and expenses (after age 65)

πŸ“… Open Enrollment begins November 1 in most states, and there are a few things Marketplace shoppers should know this year.

πŸ’° Premium tax credits are available, but the additional enhanced savings that were available through 2025 are still gone.

πŸ₯ˆ Cost-sharing reductions are still available. If you qualify, choosing an eligible Silver plan can help lower costs such as deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.

πŸ₯ Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum plans remain. Remember: metal levels don’t indicate quality of care, but define how costs are shared between you and the plan.

🩺 Key ACA protections remain. Marketplace plans continue to cover essential health benefits, and insurers generally can’t deny coverage or charge more because of a pre-existing condition.

Before Open Enrollment, gather a list of your doctors and prescriptions, estimate your expected 2027 household income, and think about how well your current coverage has worked for you. Even if nothing has changed in your household, don’t assume your premium, financial assistance, or plan details will stay the same.

Questions about your 2027 health insurance options? We’re here to help you prepare and compare your choices.

Today, October 5, we celebrate World Teacher Day. This is a day to honor the educators who guided us and who transform our communities week after week, year after year. 🍎✨ Do this now: take a moment to remember the great teachers who shaped your life. Drop their names in the comments, and better yet, drop them a personal note if you can track them down. Let them know they made a difference.

Great teachers do so much more than deliver curriculum. They spark curiosity, build confidence, and create safe spaces where young people discover who they are and what they're capable of. They mentor, encourage, listen, and go way beyond their job description to support their students.

World Teacher Day was established by UNESCO in 1994 to serve as a reminder that the dedicated professionals who form the backbone of education are the foundation of our future.
To every teacher out there: thank you for every invisible battle you fight, for every heroic win that no one sees except you and that student. Thank you for seeing the potential in your students, even when others have given up, for believing in them when they doubt themselves, and for the countless ways you work for the betterment of the world. πŸ™Œ

We see you and we thank you.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder to turn awareness into at least one practical step. That could mean scheduling an overdue appointment, writing down your family health history, asking your doctor about screening, or learning what is normal for your body. β™₯

Possible warning signs can include a new lump in the breast or underarm, thickening or swelling, skin dimpling or irritation, or a change in breast size or shape. Many breast changes are not cancer, but an unexplained change should be discussed with a healthcare professional, even after a recent normal mammogram.

It also helps to know how your insurance works. A routine screening mammogram may be handled differently from diagnostic imaging ordered to evaluate a symptom or follow up on a finding. Network rules, referrals, prior authorization, and out-of-pocket costs can vary by plan and service.

If you have questions about how your plan may cover preventive screening, diagnostic tests, prescriptions, or specialist care, contact our office. We can help you understand your benefits and prepare useful questions before the appointment.

Happy International Coffee Day! β˜• October 1 is a good excuse to appreciate that beloved cup that starts the morning, fuels an afternoon conversation, or gives us five quiet minutes before the day gets busy.

Coffee preferences can be surprisingly personal. Some people want a carefully measured pour-over. Others want a giant mug, a splash of cream, and no further questions until it is empty. Hot, iced, sweet, black, decaf, or strong enough to wake the whole neighborhood, the best cup is the one made the way you like it.

What is in your cup today? Tell us your favorite coffee order below. If you have an insurance question brewing, contact our office to talk through your options.

πŸ“… ACA Marketplace Open Enrollment is coming. A little preparation now can make enrollment easier later.

Before November 1, take a few minutes to get organized:

βœ… Think about how your current health plan worked for you this year.

πŸ‘©β€βš•οΈ Make a list of the doctors, specialists and healthcare facilities you want to keep using.

πŸ’Š Write down your prescriptions, dosages, and preferred pharmacy.

πŸ’΅ Review your expected 2027 household income and make note of any household changes.

πŸ“¬ Watch for notices from your insurance company and the Marketplace about your current coverage and options for next year.

⚠️ Be cautious of unsolicited calls, texts, or emails asking for personal, financial, or Marketplace account information. The scammers are out in force. When in doubt, give us a call to get honest support.

Getting this information together now can make it easier to compare your options when Open Enrollment begins. Have questions or want help getting ready? Give us a call to schedule an enrollment appointment.

Cinnamon Apple Crescent Roll-Ups 🍎πŸ₯πŸ‚

Peel and dice 2 fresh apples. Add them to a small pot with 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla. Cook over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften and the mixture becomes syrupy.

Unroll 1 package of refrigerated crescent rolls and spoon a small amount of the warm apple mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll them up and place on a baking sheet. Brush with a little melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Bake at 375Β°F for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve warm and enjoy!
