Your Lansing Health Insurance Agency

Health care costs are high and getting higher. Who will pay your bills if you have a serious accident or a major illness? With health insurance, you protect yourself and your family in case you need medical care that has the potential to be very expensive.

There are several different types of individual health insurance. You can get fee-for-service, HMO or PPO plans, but you should know the differences and coverage limitations before making any purchase decision.

The factors that help us determine what plan is best for you are:

  • How long you will need coverage for
  • If you have any pre-existing conditions
  • If your health history and build are such that you can qualify for individual plans with 'preferred' discounts
  • Whether you will need maternity coverage
  • If you want a plan to just assist with catastrophic bills or to also provide basic benefits

If you can call us with this information or fill it in on our online form we would be glad to get information to you on different plans to consider.
