BOCA RATON, Fla. - Health Insurance Now is advising families expecting a coverage change this fall - a new job, a spouse's open enrollment, or an expiring COBRA election - to purchase health insurance now before the season's usual rush of calls and paperwork.
Fall brings a predictable wave of coverage changes, the brokerage says, as employer open enrollment periods close and COBRA elections made earlier in the year begin to expire. Families who wait until the last minute often end up choosing whatever plan is fastest rather than what fits best.
"Every fall we see the same pattern - people wait, then panic, then take the first plan they find," said Matthew Sechter, CEO of Health Insurance Now. "Acting a few weeks earlier gives a family real choices instead of a rushed decision."
As an independent brokerage reviewing more than 25 carriers, Health Insurance Now helps families compare private PPO plans with broad provider access against whatever their employer or former employer's plan currently offers.
Because private health insurance enrolls year-round, families don't have to time their purchase around a single date. The firm says that flexibility is exactly what allows early shoppers to lock in a plan before seasonal demand picks up.
The company's agents review deductibles, network access and household budget with each family, aiming to have a plan selected well before any existing coverage lapses at the end of the year.
Health Insurance Now says the comparison itself is fast: a phone call typically produces quotes in about five minutes, and applicants who move forward can often be approved and covered within 24 to 48 hours, without the paperwork delays people associate with switching health plans.
"The families who call us in September usually get better options than the ones who call in December," Sechter said. "We'd rather help people plan ahead than scramble."
Health Insurance Now says the fall surge is especially pronounced among households juggling a COBRA election alongside a spouse's employer open enrollment, where two deadlines can easily get confused for one.
The firm notes that families with children often have the most to coordinate in the fall, from school physicals to specialist visits, and says a settled health plan removes one variable from an already busy season.
Health Insurance Now says its agents block extra time each September specifically to handle the seasonal increase in calls, so families who reach out early aren't competing with the December rush for an appointment.
Families anticipating a fall coverage change can call a licensed specialist to purchase health insurance now and avoid the season's typical scramble.
