THE LOCAL ALTERNATIVE TO FEDERAL MARKETPLACE SITES
We know calling the carriers direct or dealing with hc.gov can be a time consuming nightmare! We make shopping for the best plan easy by giving you the freedom to book a meeting with one of our local agents or to shop on your own anonymously! See prices and plans without entering any personal data or completing an application.
Get started by choosing how you want to shop and who you want to work with. See our guidance below and then feel free to book a meeting directly on our calendars. No advance calls required. Just be prepared to share some information with us as the more we know, the better we can help!
843 BENEFITS AND HEALTH MARKETPLACE ADVISORS
BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH AN AGENT
-
Our independent advisors offer unbiased guidance—at no extra cost. You get the same plans, same prices—whether you go solo or work with us.
-
By using an agent you immediately upgrade your customer service experience from the carrier call centers. We can't always solve the problem, but we know how to get it done.
-
Our advisors understand both group and individual benefits which can often help in determining the best strategies. Especially with ICHRA and federal tax credits in play.
-
We have extensive knowledge of local hospital systems and the doctors you want to see.
-
We've been serving the lowcountry for nearly 25 years. When it's time to renew, we'll be here!
UNDERSTANDING YOUR AGENCY/CLIENT RELATIONSHIP
-
843 Benefits and Health Marketplace is your agency, but your advisor is your agent of record.
-
Our advisors own their own block of business and have their own enrollment links so anytime you come back for help or questions, be sure to use their links.
-
Your agent is your go-to guide for everything policy-related and should be your first point of contact, but we are all here to support each other!
-
Be careful if calling into the marketplace directly to renew or change coverage as they often replace us as your agent of record.
-
Our licensed advisors are appointed by every marketplace carrier and licensed in every state we represent. And we only recommend carriers we would be comfortable putting our own family with.
-
We do not hire account managers or marketing reps — only licensed agents who are committed to providing you with the best service possible.
Looking for Dental, Vision or Short-Term Health Insurance plans?
We typically use United Healthcare for Individual Dental, Vision or Short Term Health. Your agent will be more than happy to go over those options with you! For Short Term Health policies underwriting is required and we highly encourage you to book online or contact us before enrolling to fully understand the risks and benefits.
Our local agents are educators, not salespeople, and we know a more educated consumer makes for a better client so we do our best to make sure you understand your options. We'll review medical histories, prescription needs, and any political or tax credit changes that might affect your plan decisions. And best of all its free! You never pay us a fee or get charged a higher premium for working with an agent!
Choose your agent below and then:
Select MARKETPLACE to shop their online health marketplace site. This will allow you to shop anonymously, get rates, see plans and potential income based premium reductions, and will eventually integrate with hc.gov if you decide to apply and enroll.
Select BOOK MEETING if you would prefer to have some help or need to set up a time to chat with one of our agents.
Select SHOP BCBS DIRECT if you are enrolling on an ICHRA plan or prefer to avoid being on a federal marketplace policy.
Instructions For Company Based ICHRA Enrollments
Identify the advisor for your company's plan above. You then have two options...
OPTION 1: SHOP ON YOUR OWN using your agent's ICHRA link.
-
Once you get to the Shop and Apply page with BCBS you'll need to select Individual HRA and use today's date to create your SEP for enrollment.
-
Select your plan and apply. Be sure to have socials for any dependents needing coverage. Choose BILL ME LATER to avoid making any immediate payments.
-
Once your application is complete and you get the CONGRATULATIONS page, you'll need to download the ICHRA ENROLLMENT FORM and be sure to include the name of the plan you chose.
-
Email the form back to your agent to connect your enrollment to your company and avoid getting billed directly.
OPTION 2: BOOK ONLINE to set up a time to shop with your plan's advisor and they will go through all of the above steps with you at your convenience. You will still need to submit the ICHRA ENROLLMENT FORM when done.
