Separate personal coverage from employee benefits

Start by identifying who needs coverage: you, your family, or your employees. Those are different conversations. Stephen’s private coverage consultation focuses on available options for your situation. Ask which solutions he can provide and whether a separate employee-benefits specialist is needed.

If you work for yourself without employees, you may also want to review the individual Marketplace options described by HealthCare.gov. Bringing your current plan summary helps make comparisons more concrete.

Build a useful coverage checklist

• People: Who needs insurance, and where do they live?
• Budget: What monthly payment is manageable, and what other costs could arise when care is needed?
• Access: Which doctors, hospitals and specialists do you want to use?
• Protection: How are major expenses, prescriptions and ongoing care handled? What limits or exclusions apply?
• Timing: When should coverage start, and what eligibility or approval steps apply?

Understand what you are buying

A low premium is only one part of a coverage decision. Review the actual policy, benefit schedule and network information. Ask whether you are comparing major medical coverage, supplemental benefits or a package of products, and how that differs from your existing coverage.
