Preferred employee coverage to Cobra

Image
When parting ways from your employer, there are 2 main options for health insurance.  The first is for Cobra and the other is Healthcare.gov.  For those who are unable to receive a subsidy from Healthcare.gov, our coverage from Health Insurance 2.0 is a superior plan to Cobra.  Cobra health insurance is one of the highest premiums on the health insurance market and is only available for 18 months in most cases.  We offer lower premiums and lower out-of-pocket expenses, equipped with a Medical Billing Specialist who will introduce your coverage to your doctor's office and eliminate any anxiety with your health insurance plan.  We are Health Insurance 2.0! www.CustomInsured.com

Better Health Insurance Options Outside of Open Enrollment

Image
When looking for a new health insurance plan, the options on Healthcare.gov can be limited in both the pricing of the plan and having to only take an HMO network.  For those who want to pursue family and individual PPO plans, we have the best coverage on the market.  Not only will you have access to over 1 million health care providers, but you will also have access to our Medical Billing Specialist who serves as health insurance concierge for your family needs. This is an unmatched benefit that many will choose over Cobra (if leaving your prior employer)!  We are Health Insurance 2.0!

A preferred Alternative to Cobra

Image
When parting ways from your employer, Cobra health insurance is one option that can be quite pricey.  We offer alternatives to Cobra plans that lower premiums by about 20%, lower the out-of-pocket expense, and provide access to our one-of-a-kind Medical Billing Specialist to handle the coverage set up and provide assistance with all health-related claims.  These are unmatched benefits over Cobra health plans that many families and individuals are choosing instead.  We are Health Insurance 2.0.

Health Insurance Options For Those On Cobra

Image
When an employee leaves their employer, most will consider their options with Cobra.  Cobra is the continued coverage from an employer that is available at the full price, or the price that the employer pays before the employee deduction.  This premium is at least double the amount the employee was paying as an employer, and likely higher if they are insuring family members.  We can save 20% over a cobra plan and offer benefits above and beyond Cobra insurance.  We are Health Insurance 2.0!
