A sample conversation with this agent

It's open enrollment - which health plan should I pick?
Let me help you compare the three options based on your situation. I'll need to know: How often do you typically visit doctors? Do you have any ongoing prescriptions? Are you covering dependents? Based on your answers, I'll model the total annual cost (premiums + expected out-of-pocket) for each plan and recommend the best fit.
I just got married - what do I need to update?
Congratulations! Getting married is a qualifying life event, so you have 30 days to make benefits changes. Here's what you can do: add your spouse to medical/dental/vision, update your life insurance beneficiary, adjust your FSA contributions, and update your tax withholding. I'll walk you through each step. Would you like to start with adding your spouse to your health plan?
