This is a subtitle for your new post
Hey, Boise, this is Chris again with Boise Health and Life Insurance Agency.
Hey, today we're gonna be talking about short-term health insurance plans from Blue Cross of Idaho. They're one of our top companies here in Idaho. They've been around forever.
If you've had some group coverage for a while, you've probably had some of their plans because they are one of the largest in the state. So the easiest thing to do.
I mean, you come in here, I can talk a little bit about short-term health insurance, and I'll just show you this real quick. Um, up here, you can come to get a quote.
It takes you to the website. But here's their short-term PPO Brochure.
So you can just come in here and you can read this right from the website, look at the deductibles and the plans, and get some good information on what it covers and what they don't cover.
So, um, that's their hope. That can help you out. But you can always call us and ask questions. You know, that's what we're here for. Or you can just click through and you come over here and we'll let me see here.
It's taken a sec here, I see to load. So we're just gonna wait here and Oh, you know what? I'm just going to pause this. What? We do that. So here is where you can come in and you can actually apply for coverage.
Uh, individuals and families, This is the A C. A plan here is their short-term plan, which is usually up to 12 months, and it will take your right in there. Uh, and then the access plan is another plan that will go up to about 36 months on that.
So up here, you can come over here and just individual families, and we'll give you a breakdown where you can find out more information. All right, over here on these plans right here.
The access plans right here. So access plans are underwritten, but they are about 40% lower than the exchanges. So your health, Idaho, and everything.
