Tip #10: Give yourself the best health care
When you choose the right health insurance plan and the right network, you’ll get access to a high-quality health system – not to mention the best doctors, best hospitals and best care options available.

When looking for a great health care system, you should:

Look at customer ratings. What are others saying about the quality of care they’ve received?
Look for clinical excellence and medical innovation. Advocate has received multiple national and regional awards for cutting-edge care.
Look for convenience. Our nearly 400 sites of care and 12 hospitals are close to your home, work or school.
Plan for a healthy future with a plan that’s built around you.

Tip #9: Choose the right network
In-network is the term used to describe a group of health care providers that your insurance company has agreements with. When you seek in-network care, your insurance usually covers more of your fees and your overall health care costs are lower.

If you choose to go to a doctor or hospital that is out-of-network, you're more likely to pay higher out-of-pocket fees than you would if you'd stayed in-network. So staying in-network – and choosing the right network – is important.

When you choose a health insurance plan that includes Advocate Health Care, you’ll have access to:

Some of the top hospitals in the U.S.
Doctors and providers known for medical excellence and innovation
Top-rated clinics and specialty programs
Nearly 400 sites of care and 12 hospitals throughout the Chicago area
Evening, weekend and online appointment options to fit your lifestyle

Tip #5: Shop for health insurance only
The Health Insurance Marketplace is for private health insurance only. You can’t get life insurance, long-term care insurance or other types of insurance through the marketplace.

Medicare is another type of insurance that is not offered through the Health Insurance Marketplace. If you’re eligible for Medicare and want to renew or apply for Medicare benefits, you can do so through the Social Security Administration’s website.

But Medicare alone may not be enough to cover your medical expenses. In addition to your Medicare benefits, you can enroll in a supplemental health insurance plan that includes Advocate Health Care so you’re getting the best health care possible.

Tip #2: Don't miss the deadline
Open enrollment is a period when the Health Insurance Marketplace accepts applications for health insurance. Open enrollment for 2022 starts Nov. 1, 2021.
