Frequently Asked Questions

No jargon. Just straight answers.

Yes, completely. Your rate is identical whether you work with us or go directly to the carrier. We're paid a commission by the insurance companies, not by you, and those commissions don't affect your premium in any way. You get an expert in your corner at zero cost.

Absolutely. You don't have to be starting from scratch. If you already have a plan and you're not sure it's the right one, or if your circumstances have changed, we can review it, compare alternatives, and make changes on your behalf. Reach out and we'll walk you through it.

This has become one of the most important parts of what we do. Online provider directories can be inaccurate or outdated. We verify your specific doctors across multiple sources before recommending any plan, because being in-network isn't something you want to find out about after the fact.

Most comparisons take less than 10 minutes once we have basic information from you: date of birth, ZIP code, current medications, and your doctors' names. We can screen plans and run quotes in the same call. Enrollment is straightforward from there, we handle the paperwork.

Very little. For Medicare, we need your date of birth, ZIP code, and a list of your current medications and doctors. For Covered California, we also need your best estimate of household income for the year. That's it, we take it from there.
