Why Do You Need Health Insurance?
Everyone needs health insurance. No one can predict when they will need to see a physician, receive emergency services or be admitted to the hospital. These things cost money, a lot of money. Without health insurance the total of these costs are your responsibility. With health insurance, you only pay a small fraction of the costs, if any. Having health insurance coverage is one of the top methods to prevention of serious diseases and health problems.

Why Do You Need to See a Navigator?
Insurance is confusing. Navigators are here to guide you through the enrollment process, answer questions, and explain what happens after you submit your application. Navigators can assist with the enrollment process over the phone, through in office appointments, or in some cases home visits.
