Health Insurance
Washington Health Care Open Enrollment will run from November 1st to December 15th
Vern Fonk is here to help you navigate the often complex world of individual and family health insurance plans. One of our professional agents is available today to identify the best plan to meet your needs and budget.
Why Choose Vern Fonk?
When it comes to finding a health plan, Vern Fonk will help you to:
- Identify, apply, and enroll in a plan that best meets your needs.
- Navigate your coverage options. Washington’s Health Benefit Exchange includes plans in categories called metal levels. The levels are Bronze, Silver, and Gold. While all plans offer standard coverage benefits, the lower your monthly premiums are, the more you will pay out-of-pocket when you receive medical care.
- Determine if you qualify for a low-cost or no-cost insurance plan through Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare plans are for individuals who are 65 or older or individuals who have a disability. Medicaid, also known as Washington Apple Health, is available year-round to individuals with limited incomes.
- Have a clear picture of costs and coverage options before you commit to a plan.
The Importance of Health Insurance Coverage
Even if you are in good health, unanticipated medical bills can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. A health plan will help protect you from a major financial loss resulting from an accident, injury, or unexpected illness.
Health insurance coverage also promotes a healthier lifestyle because it provides coverage for preventative care and wellness visits. Routine check-ups can help you and your doctor address health concerns before they become larger issues.
You can also give us a call at 877-705-6631 to talk to an expert insurance agent who can answer your questions and help you find the health insurance plan that fits your needs and budget.
