New “Health Benefit Plans” are Designed for Both Underinsured and Uninsured Consumers

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – AgileHealthInsurance.com announced today it has launched a new portfolio of health insurance products called “Limited Medical plans.” Limited Medical plans are specially designed to help consumers who are at risk for going underinsured or uninsured, in the absence of low-cost health plans. Many of the new Limited Medical plans are priced under $100 a month, a key price ceiling within the American health insurance market.

Unlike major medical plans, such as Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) insurance plans or short-term medical insurance plans, Limited Medical plans pay a set amount of money when the enrollee experiences covered medical events. Payment amounts vary depending on the specific medical event, with more expensive medical services typically receiving higher payments than those for less costly events. Depending on the health insurance benefit plan, this money is paid directly to the enrollee to offset out-of-pocket costs or lost income, or it is paid directly to the enrollee’s health care provider. Most Limited Medical plans offered on AgileHealthInsurace.com are not medically underwritten, but they will not cover pre-existing conditions. This means that a consumer can apply without worry that the application will be rejected due to a current health condition, but the plan will only pay for covered medical events that occur after the application date. Applications can be made any time of year, and coverage can begin in as little as one day after purchase. Plans can be paid for by consumers on a month-to-month basis and cancelled by the consumer at any time without restriction. Additionally, consumers can keep their health benefit plan until they are Medicare eligible at age 65, and in some cases longer.

“The reality of today’s health insurance market is that we have a growing segment of Americans who are locked out of Obamacare insurance plans due to high premiums, ineligibility for government premium subsidies, lack of insurance company participation or open enrollment restrictions,” said Bruce Telkamp, founder and CEO of AgileHealthInsurance.com. “Our mission has been to pioneer a scalable Internet platform to help these consumers find and purchase lower-cost health insurance options that meet their unique needs. We are very excited to be complementing our market-leading short-term offering with a new online portfolio of Limited Medical plans. We believe that the health benefit plan category has the potential to become an important segment of the individual health insurance marketplace.”

AgileHealthInsurance.com offers Limited Medical plans that provide payments to help with four categories of medical expenses:

  • Doctor office visits coverage: pays for a predetermined number of visits to a doctor’s office, as well as associated lab work
  • Hospital visits coverage: pays for hospital admission due to illness or injury
  • Accident coverage: pays when accidents result in an injury, such as a broken leg or torn knee
  • Critical illnesses coverage: pays in the event of a serious illness, such as a heart attack or cancer

Many of the Limited Medical plans offered at AgileHealthInsurance.com have additional benefits such as a telemedicine service that provides 24/7 access to a doctor or nurse for basic medical consults and advisory services to help consumers navigate the health care system. All of the Limited Medical plans offered on AgileHealthInsurance.com have top ratings from AM Best, ranging from B++ (Good) to A+ (Superior) in financial strength.

AgileHealthInsurance.com intends to continue investment and innovation within the health insurance market, including expanding its health benefit plan offerings throughout 2017.
