Need Insurance Coverage for 2018?

employer sponsored insurance

In many circumstances, people have the option to obtain coverage sponsored by their own employer or through a spouse, parent or significant other.  When reviewing your coverage options available to you, do not be afraid to ask questions about what your personal financial responsibility will be, how much is the sponsor contributing towards the premium or other expenses, and if you will be able to continue to see your doctor.  Ask the employer representative to help you answer these questions.  Due to the variety of benefit plans that insurance companies and providers work with every day, they may not have your specific plan information.
