Dental and Vision Care

We all understand the importance of going to the doctor when we are feeling unwell or for our annual checkup. But what about making sure that our teeth and eyes are healthy too?

If you’re working on your health by getting annual physicals, eating healthier, or exercising, you should consider taking care of your dental health and vision care as well. It makes a difference.

Connecting Consumers with Coverage

I am happy to report I earned the Connecting Consumers with Coverage award for this special enrollment period.  The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 increased subsidies and extended eligibility to higher-income people who did not previously qualify.  August 15, 2021 is the new extended deadline to submit your application for the special enrollment period. If you recently lost your coverage, were unable to purchase a plan during Open Enrollment, or would like to switch health plans for any reason, now is the time to shop and enroll.
