Suzilla podcast: Health Insurance Network coverage episode.

We got a little excited last week when we did our first Travel Insurance policy in about a year. It means that we are moving beyond COVID-19 and travel restrictions. We did a lot in 2019 as they filled in Gaps of people with narrow network plans and expect the same for 2021. We answer the question of tight networks for health insurance during this episode of Suzilla. We can be found on most Podcast platforms. If you have healthcare then you have to be aware of your network. Will your plan cover you in the next county, next state or outside of the country? How do you fill in the gaps? We have been doing that for the last 8 years (7 for Suzie). We have been using some low cost supplemental plans to cover high deductibles for years. Who makes these network decisions and drives up costs? We get into some of the mechanics of cost. What roll does your provider play in cost? As the Wenatchee Enrollment Center, we have been working on Health Insurance, Medicare, and travel insurance for a couple of years. We wrote our first travel policy in almost a year last week so we know that there is going to be a demand to cover narrow networks in 2021.
