Suzilla: Family Business Podcast

Work from home or an office?

Covid 19 really pressed this question for a lot of folks. We have the luxury to do both. We work with the Insurance World. We don't ship product around the world so it would be relatively easy to operate everything remotely. There are pros and cons to both. Do you have an experience with working from home during this pandemic?

Don't have healthcare so what do you do?

Hey did you know that if you lose health insurance that you can get it? The Washington Healthplanfinder is running a Special Enrollment until May 8th because of Covid 19. We recommend using an enrollment center. We are in Wenatchee and can be found at www.wahbroker.org. 

There are nine states that have done special enrollments. It will probably take an act of Congress to open Healthcare.gov to declare it. If you have a qualified healthplan then you are covered. The care for treating Covid 19 is expensive so get something with an Out of pocket maximum. There are a lot of assumptions so please ask questions.

If you have any questions then don't hesitate.  

Covid 19 Healthcare Enrollment and Health Ministries

Suzie and Matt help run Wenatchee's full service enrollment center for the Washington Healthplanfinder. Our homepage is www.wahbroker.org We have been helping people navigate through healthcare and insurance for years. Matt came started with homes and autos before a customer drafted him for health. Suzie came in from a Pharmacy Tech and started helping with Medicare. Their Mom and pop operation is called Suzie Health Solutions. If you want help from someone that doesn't charge a fee then come talk to us.

Today, we are talking about Healthshares or Health Ministries. There are a lot of rumors about these non-insurance options. We get a fair amount of people coming back to a qualified plan. When you have a qualified plan then there are important things:

1. Covid 19 testing is at zero cost.

2. You have an out of pocket maximum.

3. There are often services that occur prior to a deductible.

4. They handle preexisiting conditions.

5. You can do both a Healthshare and a qualified plan. 

Look up your resources. You can always look up legitimate people and businesses at the Office of the Insurance Commissioner. This is especially important if you are working with people that you do not know, can not visit their office, or phoned you up out of the blue to talk about healthcare. Some of the Healthshares that we are talking about have been kicked out of the state and fined serious money for not doing what they said they were going to do.
