  • Are you managing more medication than you are used to and confused by drug tiers, generic vs brand name medications, or other options that just don’t seem to make sense?
  • Have you been burned in past years, selecting plans that you thought sounded good, but later learned actually increased your monthly expenses?

Health insurance plan selection isn't easy, but understanding your options will help you find your best one…

The calculator is sitting on a wooden table, with a white computer keyboard visible in front of them.

What would it look like if you had somebody with years of practice selecting plans to guide you?

Can you imagine reading the plan description and going “got it!” rather than “huh?”

Can you imagine making knowledge-based decisions about your health insurance plan, and being able to directly compare two or more plans?

Can you picture confidently starting the new year knowing your preferred doctors are covered, being able to anticipate the cost of each appointment, and knowing how much your medication should cost each month?

Hi, I'm Alison Hayes
A monthly planner lies open on a white table. the words "health insurance" are spelled out across the fold in the planner using wooden scrabble tiles. more tiles lie scattered across the planner and table, face down. Blue pills are also visible scattered across the planner and table.
Health Insurance plans are vital for us, but that doesn't make them easy to understand

You deserve to feel confident in your decisions

Rather than feeling confused and overwhelmed by your health insurance options, I want to help you be an informed consumer, able to compare plans with a focus on your needs and options.

  • I have been selecting my own healthcare plans since 2005, while managing multiple health issues – and have guided others through the process.  
  • I understand the vocabulary and concepts of the system, and how easy it can be to get lost in the options.
  • I’m here to help you invest time into selecting your plan now so you pay less money later.
  • This masterclass is intended to help you understand what is and isn’t covered by your healthcare plan, so you can select your best option.
  • We also will discuss mental and emotional costs that accompany health insurance plans and plan selection- because this is about more than money.
  • You deserve to feel confident every step of the way, especially since these plans and options are intended to be overly complicated and overwhelming. 

Feel empowered to select the plan that best meets your needs

In this class you will learn:

  • The goals of insurance companies, and why selecting a plan feels so difficult
  • The vocabulary most commonly found in health insurance plans and how your options are impacted
  • The key differences between types of plans and how to keep your priorities top of mind
  • How to anticipate the challenges your chosen and alternative plans will present so that you're prepared for them
  • Lessons are provided by a fellow consumer who understands your priorities, rather than an insurance representative who is trying to sell you a specific product.

You deserve to understand how health insurance works, and to feel empowered by the knowledge necessary to select the best plan for you

All non-governmental health insurance policies are more focused on making a profit than on your needs. Government-sponsored health insurance focuses on meeting the average needs of the average user. That isn’t you either.  

Your job, when it comes to health insurance, is to pick the plan that will give you the coverage you need at the most affordable price you can find.  

Isn’t it worth an hour or so of your time, and $37, to understand just what the rules are and how can find the plan that is the best fit for you?
