843 Benefits and Health Marketplace Online coaches and virtual challenges are good, but we think the reliance on technology is part of why we all got lazy in the first place. PLUS its fun!

We sell group and individual health insurance and do our best to make your plan more than something you hope to never use by integrating wellness programs, social events, and technology to create educated clients and a more sustainable plan. 843 Benefits and Health Marketplace is our attempt to improve the perception of health insurance by connecting consumers to great health plans while improving their overall health and well being by integrating social community wellness campaigns and free fitness classes as part of their benefits. We feel wellness is something that has been completely omitted from the recent healthcare law changes and hope to do something about it through partnerships with local fitness professionals and seasonal events held throughout the Charleston area. Our clients will have the opportunity to participate in fitness classes free of charge, attend nutrition workshops or challenges, and participate in social fitness events like the rugged maniac or bridge run and get great rewards from us for doing so. Nothing compares to having an actual instructor kicking your tail or giving you guidance in person. And behind the scenes we will always be working hard to help you find the most affordable and appropriate benefit plans for your individual, family, or employer needs.

Open enrollment is now open, and choosing quickly isn't the same as choosing well. Run through these five questions before you pick a plan:

▪️Are your doctors in network?
▪️Are your prescriptions covered?
▪️How much will you pay before the plan starts paying?
▪️What is the annual out-of-pocket maximum?
▪️Does the plan fit the care you expect to need?

Plan names and monthly premiums only tell part of the story, which is why our local advisors at 843 Benefits and Health Marketplace walk through these details with you.

Open enrollment for individual health plans begins November 1, and getting organized now makes the process smoother once new plans are available.

Start by listing your doctors, prescriptions, and preferred hospitals, then gather your household income information and think through the care you expect to need next year. Bringing those details to a local advisor lets us compare options with you and explain the plan details that are easy to miss when shopping alone.

Rate increases may be significant again this year, so preparing for your employee benefits renewal now gives you more time to weigh options once carriers release final rates.

Small-business owners can start by gathering their current bill or benefits summary, noting employee feedback, reviewing participation, and confirming hiring plans for the year ahead. Once updated carrier information arrives, our team at 843 Benefits and Health Marketplace can use that groundwork to compare strategies with you right away.

Life changes fast, and some of those shifts can impact your health insurance in ways that aren’t always obvious. That’s why our team at 843 Benefits and Health Marketplace is always here to help you understand what your options look like.

Certain milestones can open a Special Enrollment Period — a 60‑day window before or after the event where you can update or choose new coverage outside the standard Open Enrollment Period. If any of these happened recently, it may be a good time to check in with us:

• Getting married, divorced, or welcoming a new child
• Moving to a new ZIP code, county, or state
• Turning 26 or losing job‑based coverage
• Changes in income or household size
• Turning 65 or becoming a U.S. citizen

If any of these sound familiar, our team would be glad to talk through your options and make the process simple. Reach out anytime — we’re here to help you navigate your Special Enrollment Period with confidence.

As your business grows, your benefits needs change. Here's how to compare your options.

For many smaller businesses, individual health coverage can offer flexibility and cost savings. As your team grows, a traditional group health plan may become a better fit for your employees and your business goals.

There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. The right choice depends on your team, your budget, and your long-term plans.

Not sure which option makes the most sense? Schedule a consultation with our advisors at www.843benefits.com.
