BeWellnm Provides Millennials With Insurance Options

FINANCIAL News:

ALBUQUERQUE– Between finishing college, starting a career and sorting out personal finances, people in their 20s are living through a time replete with complex planning and logistics.

One especially important milestone to consider comes at the age of 26 – the age people may no longer be covered under a parent’s health plan.

Navigating the world of health insurance can be challenging, but beWellnm is here to help 26-year-olds (and everyone else for that matter) figure out their options. Here’s a list of things young people and those who care about them should keep in mind when shopping for health insurance:

  1. Healthcare insurance is a proactive way to take care of your health. When injured or sick, individual health plans provide access to a network of medical professionals. In addition, qualifying health plans provide access to no-cost preventative care, such as regular check-ups, screenings and vaccinations.
  2. When choosing a plan, a monthly payment is required to keep the insurance active. This payment is called a premium, and it can vary based on the coverage offered in the plan, the plan’s deductible.
  3. Choosing the right plan is a different process for everyone. Topics to research include costs, specific health care needs, providers in a given network, and what’s covered in each plan.
  4. BeWellnm offers local help, in the form of agents and brokers, who can guide you through the enrollment process at no cost to you. Other options include a live chat option on bewellnm.com and an in-person enrollment center open year-round.
  5. Individuals who turn 26 outside of open enrollment are eligible for a special enrollment period. The individual can apply for up to 60 days before the loss of coverage, and or up to 60 days after the loss of coverage. However, we highly encourage the application to be completed before the loss of coverage occurs.
