Who They Are

Left a job, got laid off, their company eliminated benefits, or they are transitioning careers. May currently be on COBRA and shocked at what it costs. They are looking for a solution and often moving quickly.

 

What They Are Dealing With

  • COBRA is expensive and feels like a temporary band-aid
  • Nervous about being uninsured — want to get covered as soon as possible
  • May not have ever shopped for individual coverage before
  • Urgency is on your side — they need something now, not in three months
  • The cost comparison to COBRA almost always works in our favor
  • They may not fully understand how underwriting works — keep it simple and let the process play out
