Here are a few key things to consider before the window opens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Review Your Current Coverage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a moment to look over your current health plan. Are your doctors still in-network? Have your prescriptions changed? Are you satisfied with your monthly premium and out-of-pocket costs? Knowing what\u2019s working (and what\u2019s not) helps us make smarter choices together. Whether or not I am your agent \u2013 I would love to help you review your coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Consider Any Life Changes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did your household size change? A new baby, a child turning 26, recent move or change in marital status can all affect your eligibility and plan options. Let\u2019s make sure your coverage reflects your current needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Update Your Income<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are on an ACA or ICHRA plan Income changes, big or small, can impact your subsidy and monthly premium. Be ready to share your updated income so we can calculate your savings accurately and avoid surprises later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Think About Your Health Needs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you anticipate more doctor visits, specialist care, or new prescriptions in the coming year? Let\u2019s factor that in when choosing a plan that fits your lifestyle and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Be Ready to Connect<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are a current client, I\u2019ll be reaching out soon to help you re-enroll. To get started, I\u2019ll need you to answer a few quick questions. The sooner we connect, the smoother the process will be and the better chance we have of securing the best plan for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Open Enrollment doesn\u2019t have to be stressful.<\/strong> With a little prep and the right guidance, you\u2019ll be ready to make confident, informed decisions. I\u2019m here to walk you through every step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have questions, feel free to call me at <strong>(803) 261-4186<\/strong>.
