ONLINE Affordable Healthcare Options for SMDRA Members
DATE: Monday, December 7, 2020
TIME: 2:00pm to 3:00pm
LOCATION: Zoom Webinar Event

DESCRIPTION: REALTORS® in Colorado (and staff and association affiliates) have a new option that has been made available by CAR, with a cost-sharing solution at its core. This is an increasingly popular alternative to traditional insurance that helps bring the cost of healthcare for enrollees down by 30-50% and provides a well-rounded solution to balancing your healthcare needs and personal finances. This solution does have some temporary limits regarding pre-existing conditions, so it will be important to understand these when considering your options.
