Recruiting by Rachel

Looking for affordable health insurance and not sure where to start? You’re not alone.

Even with employer plans, choosing between options like HMO vs. PPO or high- vs. low-deductible can be confusing. It gets even more complicated if you’re between jobs, self-employed, or working somewhere that doesn’t offer benefits.

You might think to start with the MD Health Exchange but be cautious. Entering your info can lead to a flood of calls and expensive plan pitches before you’ve had time to explore your options.

A better approach? Work with a health insurance broker. They don’t charge fees, offer personalized guidance, and help you compare plans that fit your needs and budget.
