If you are a or , your job doesn't provide enough health insurance, you're retired and too young for Medicare or you don't qualify for a government health insurance program, you can buy on your own from a health insurance company, through an agent / broker like us or through the health insurance exchange in your state.

One thing's for sure, health insurance can be VERY confusing. It's why we created our own quick quiz to help simplify it for you. You can take that quiz at: https://bit.ly/3SRMnF4

Since cost is often the most important factor when choosing a health plan, your answers to the following questions can help you decide which plan to purchase.

🤔How much is the monthly premium (after any applicable premium subsidy, if you're eligible for one)?

🤔How much is the copay for healthcare provider visits and prescription medications? And what specific services are covered by a copay, versus which ones will count towards the deductible instead?

🤔How much is the deductible? And is there a separate deductible for prescription drugs?

🤔If you choose a PPO, how much will you have to pay if you use healthcare providers or hospitals outside of the PPO's network? Note that in many areas, there are no PPO plans available in the individual/family market; you may be limited to HMOs and/or EPOs, both of which generally only cover out-of-network care in emergency situations.

🤔What is the most you'll have to pay in out-of-pocket costs if you end up needing a lot of care? This is capped on all ACA-compliant plans at $9,100 for a single individual in 2023,9 although many plans have out-of-pocket limits that are lower than this.

🤔Does the health plan have a drug formulary that includes the medications you use?

🤔Is your healthcare provider in the health plan's provider network?

Hope that helps! Feel free to DM us with any questions you may have. Happy to answer them for you.

HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR LINKEDIN PROFILE: Professionals – particularly – invest a lot of time and resource in building brands. We’re trained at it – and we’re good at it. But how often do we apply those skills to building our own personal brands? For many of us, it’s nothing like as often as we should. I know that there’s more that I could be doing to build my own profile on LinkedIn – and I know that I’m not alone.

We don’t get around to it because we’re busy, and because it can sometimes feel selfish or egotistical to invest time in marketing ourselves. However, when we neglect personal branding, we don’t just sell ourselves short – we also miss a big opportunity, from a sales perspective. The impact of employees who share content is huge. And the most effective employee sharers are those who’ve built their personal brand on LinkedIn.

The LinkedIn profile page is the foundation for your personal branding. And we regularly add features to increase its capabilities as a personal marketing platform and give you new ways to signal your skills and motivations. If you haven’t checked your profile page recently, you might well find new ways to build your personal brand.

This article gives you 20 profile features you should check and update for 2024. Some of them are very quick wins, some of them may take a little bit of time – but all of them are very worthwhile. They will help to give you the LinkedIn profile and personal brand that you deserve. https://bit.ly/3uQM1ow
