How do you prepare my insurance quote?
Once you request a quote, we call you for a personal consultation. In this conversation, we go over your needs and help you understand your current coverage and options to simplify things, reduce costs or meet your objectives. To produce an illustration or “quote” we require a census of your employees and if you have an existing benefit plan, some information on your plan experience and most recent rate renewal. We then show you how to get the solution you need to put your mind at ease. With our quote and consultation process, you will leave the discussion with an understanding of where your current coverage may or may not meet your needs and how you can save money with PharmaFlex.
