We welcome fall after a very hot summer in Los Angeles. As the seasons change, so do your healthcare needs. Open Enrollment is here, and it’s the perfect time to evaluate your current health insurance policy or explore new options.
Why Reviewing Your Policy Matters
In every consultation, I ask about the type of insurance my clients have because it affects their care. The healthcare system is complex, and many people don’t realize how their PPO or HMO/Medicare Advantage plan will impact them during a serious illness or life event. Understanding your options and the system is key—not just saving on premiums, but ensuring you have the flexibility and ease of access to the care you need.
Over the years, I’ve seen many cases where clients or family members with HMO policies struggled to get the care they needed when they became seriously ill. Many hadn’t discussed their options with a professional, assuming the plan they’d had for years was sufficient. Now is the time to ensure your plan meets your evolving needs.
Professional Insurance Guidance
My advice is to review your insurance options annually with a licensed professional. As we age, our healthcare needs shift, and there are always changes in Medicare and private insurance policies. Working with a trained broker ensures you have the best coverage for your situation.
