When Life Changes, Your Insurance Should Too: A Guide to Plan Management
Manage episode 478290734 series 3604503
How Do I Update My Information And Or Bundle My Plan?
From address changes that could save you money to income updates that prevent tax surprises, keeping your health insurance information current is crucial but often overlooked. Julie Sears, founder of Integrity Health Insurance Advisors, breaks down exactly what changes warrant immediate attention and which ones can wait until renewal time.
Have you ever wondered if bundling your health, dental, and vision insurance actually saves you money? Julie offers a refreshingly honest take: for individual plans, bundling rarely provides cost savings. The primary advantage is convenience – having one payment instead of several. Some clients prefer this simplicity even if it means paying slightly more, while others prioritize finding the absolute lowest rates across multiple carriers. Julie walks through how to determine which approach makes more sense for your specific situation.
What truly sets this episode apart is Julie's candid advice about finding a quality insurance agent. Beyond the obvious need for responsiveness (which she notes is surprisingly rare in the industry), she emphasizes the importance of working with someone who presents all options without steering you toward specific plans that primarily benefit them. Her litmus test? "Everything has pros and cons. If someone can't give you any cons of a plan, they're trying to guide you in a way that probably benefits them most."
