No, our services are completely free to you. QuickCare is compensated directly by the insurance carriers we represent, so there is never a fee, markup, or hidden charge for our help. You get the same plan pricing as going directly to the carrier, plus the added benefit of personalized expert guidance and ongoing support after enrollment.

QuickCare is currently licensed and operating in Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Ohio, Alabama, and Florida. We are actively expanding to serve more states. If you live in one of these states, our licensed agents can help you compare and enroll in health insurance, Medicare, dental, vision, life insurance, and final expense coverage.

Coverage timelines vary by plan type. Many health insurance and Medicare plans can be activated within 24 to 48 hours of application approval. Dental and vision plans may have waiting periods of 6 to 12 months for major procedures, though preventive care often starts sooner. Life insurance and final expense policies are typically issued within 1 to 4 weeks depending on whether underwriting or a medical exam is required.

Health insurance premiums vary widely based on your age, location, plan type, and coverage level. On average, individual plans range from $200 to $600 per month, while family plans can range from $500 to $1,500 or more. However, many people qualify for federal subsidies through the Marketplace that can significantly reduce monthly costs. Our agents can help you check your eligibility for financial assistance and find the most affordable plan for your needs.

The annual Open Enrollment Period for Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace health insurance typically runs from November 1 through January 15. During this window, anyone can enroll in, switch, or cancel a health insurance plan. Outside of open enrollment, you may still qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) if you experience a qualifying life event such as marriage, having a baby, losing employer coverage, or moving to a new state.

HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plans require you to choose a primary care physician and get referrals before seeing specialists. They typically have lower premiums and out-of-pocket costs but limit you to in-network providers. PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans offer more flexibility, allowing you to see any doctor or specialist without a referral, including out-of-network providers at a higher cost. PPOs generally have higher premiums but greater freedom in choosing healthcare providers.

Yes, you can enroll in health insurance outside of open enrollment if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). Qualifying life events include losing existing coverage, getting married or divorced, having or adopting a child, moving to a new coverage area, or losing Medicaid/CHIP eligibility. You typically have 60 days from the qualifying event to enroll. Our agents can help determine if you qualify and guide you through the process.

Under the ACA, all Marketplace health insurance plans must cover 10 essential health benefits: outpatient care, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance abuse services, prescription drugs, rehabilitative services, laboratory services, preventive and wellness services, and pediatric services including dental and vision for children. Many plans also offer additional benefits like telehealth visits, gym memberships, and wellness programs.

Your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) begins 3 months before the month you turn 65 and ends 3 months after your birthday month, giving you a 7-month window. It is important to enroll on time because delaying enrollment can result in permanent late-enrollment penalties that increase your premiums for the rest of your life. If you are still working and have employer coverage when you turn 65, you may be able to delay Medicare Part B without penalty.

Medicare Advantage (Part C) replaces Original Medicare with an all-in-one plan from a private insurer that typically includes Part A, Part B, and often Part D prescription drug coverage. These plans frequently offer extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, and fitness programs, usually with lower premiums but network restrictions. Medicare Supplement (Medigap) works alongside Original Medicare to help cover out-of-pocket costs like copays, coinsurance, and deductibles, offering greater provider flexibility since any doctor accepting Medicare will accept your plan.

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover most outpatient prescription drugs. To get prescription drug coverage, you need to enroll in a standalone Medicare Part D plan or choose a Medicare Advantage plan that includes drug coverage. Part D plans have formularies (lists of covered drugs) that vary by plan, so it is important to compare plans based on the specific medications you take. Our agents can help you find a plan that covers your prescriptions at the lowest cost.

Yes, you can change your Medicare plan during specific enrollment periods. The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs from October 15 through December 7 each year, during which you can switch Medicare Advantage plans, move between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage, or change your Part D plan. There is also a Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period from January 1 through March 31 that allows you to switch from one Advantage plan to another or return to Original Medicare.

Medicare Part D is the prescription drug benefit program offered through private insurance companies approved by Medicare. Part D plans help cover the cost of outpatient prescription medications that are not covered under Original Medicare Parts A and B. Each Part D plan has its own list of covered drugs (formulary), premium, deductible, and copay structure. Most Part D plans also include a coverage gap (sometimes called the donut hole) where you may pay more for medications until you reach catastrophic coverage.

Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic coverage, but it varies significantly by plan. Most plans that cover braces do so only for children under 18, with a lifetime maximum benefit typically ranging from $1,000 to $2,000. Adult orthodontic coverage is less common but available on some plans. Waiting periods for orthodontic work can be 12 to 24 months. Our agents can help you find a dental plan that includes orthodontic benefits if braces are a priority for your family.

Most vision insurance plans cover new eyeglass frames and lenses once every 12 months, though some plans offer benefits every 24 months for frames. Contact lens coverage is typically an alternative to glasses coverage, meaning you can choose one or the other each benefit period. Many plans also cover one comprehensive eye exam per year, which includes screening for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Premium plans may offer higher allowances for designer frames and lens upgrades.

Yes, most dental insurance plans have waiting periods before certain services are covered. Preventive care like cleanings and exams is usually covered immediately or within 30 days. Basic procedures such as fillings and extractions may have a 3 to 6 month waiting period. Major services like crowns, bridges, and root canals often require a 6 to 12 month waiting period. Some plans offer no waiting periods but may have higher premiums. Our agents can help you compare plans based on waiting periods and your dental needs.

Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period (typically 10, 20, or 30 years) and pays a death benefit only if you pass away during the term. It is the most affordable type of life insurance and ideal for covering temporary needs like a mortgage or raising children. Whole life insurance provides permanent coverage that lasts your entire lifetime and includes a cash value component that grows over time. Whole life premiums are higher but remain level, and you can borrow against or withdraw from the accumulated cash value.

A common guideline is to carry 10 to 15 times your annual income in life insurance coverage, but the right amount depends on your specific situation. Consider factors like your outstanding debts (mortgage, car loans, student loans), annual living expenses your family would need to cover, future obligations like college tuition for children, and any existing savings or employer-provided coverage. Our agents use a personalized needs analysis to help you calculate the right coverage amount so your loved ones are fully protected.

Not always. Many insurance carriers now offer no-exam life insurance policies that use simplified underwriting based on health questionnaires and data checks. These policies are convenient and can be approved in as little as 24 hours, though premiums may be somewhat higher than traditionally underwritten policies. Final expense insurance typically does not require a medical exam at all. For the best rates on larger coverage amounts, a medical exam (usually a simple blood draw and health check done at your home) may be required.

Final expense insurance (also called burial insurance or funeral insurance) is a type of whole life insurance with smaller coverage amounts, typically ranging from $5,000 to $50,000. It is specifically designed to cover end-of-life costs including funeral and burial expenses, outstanding medical bills, and other debts so your family is not burdened financially. Final expense policies are popular among seniors because they are easier to qualify for, often require no medical exam, and have fixed premiums that never increase. Benefits are paid directly to your beneficiary to use as needed.
