Important Questions
What Should I Budget for Health Insurance?
The cost of health insurance varies based on your age, location, family size, and the type of plan you choose. You’ll want to think about the monthly premium you’ll pay to keep your coverage, the deductible you need to meet before insurance starts paying, and the copays or coinsurance you’ll share for doctor visits, prescriptions, and other care. Each plan also has an out-of-pocket maximum, which is the most you’ll spend in a year before your insurance covers everything else. Keeping these factors in mind will help you find a plan that protects your health without breaking your budget.
Can I Work with My Preferred Doctor?
Yes, in many cases you can — but it depends on the type of health insurance plan you choose. Some plans, like PPOs, give you more flexibility to see doctors and specialists both in and out of network, while others, like HMOs, require you to stay within a specific network of providers. To make sure you can continue seeing your preferred doctor, always check whether they are included in your plan’s network before enrolling.

Paige Cooper
"Melissa is a wonderful friend and great insurance agent. I initially met her through my best friend and when I needed health insurance after a terrible accident, she was there to guide me through. I spent years navigating marketplace alone and like many, never really fully understood what I was looking at, just kind of picked the best deal and ended up with hefty bills later. Melissa spent an afternoon guiding me through the process. She of course out my policy together and chose the best option, but she asked questions I never thought of and made sure I was covered where I needed it. Not only that, she talked me through it the whole time while explaining how everything works. If she wasn’t already a friend, that would have made her one because the genuine concern and care is what set her apart for me. Give her a call and you will instantly feel her sweet, warm demeanor through the phone. She’s easy to talk to and good at what she does! I was able to get FREE insurance that changed and saved my life."

"Melissa had been so very helpful navigating me getting set up with Medicare, Medicare Supplement, prescription drug plan and vision and dental plans. She was able to put it all together in a simple, easy to understand presentation. I’ve called Melissa several times in the evenings and weekends for clarification on certain aspects and she is always answering and eager to provide help and guidance. Highly recommend Melissa Atkinson!"

"I unexpectedly retired one day and was given Melissa's name by a friend whose husband had just signed up with her. That same day I retired she showed up at my house to help me get started. Melissa is easy to talk to and ask questions to. She followed up as each part got approved until Part B finally and lastly was approved. She thinks ahead and has already setup an appointment for what changes may happen for 2026 to go over. I've recommended her to two people and will continue to. I don't trust people easily and she has mine. She's personable, friendly, and fun to talk to. You don't dread it like talking to other insurance people. Give her a call as you start the process of signing up for Medicare. It's important to get it right."
