What We will do as Your Agent
Service
As your Agent
Facts show that medical costs/rates have increased at an alarming rate of 12% annual average.
At Financial Planning Concepts, Inc. our negotiating skills result from years of experience and study of insurance companies price/rate trends, cycles, and insurance underwriter behavior patterns. As your agent, we will use our knowledge and experience to reduce your rates in most cases by quoting all plans that you are eligible for and negotiating with your existing plan carrier. We will analyze your plan design, receive all the eligible quotes, prepare analysis and negotiate with your existing plan carrier to reduce rate increases.
​
We also assist you with DOL and the SPD (Summary Plan Description) and the Summary Annual Report required by the Affordable Care Act.
​
We start our work 4 months prior to your plans renewal. We do not charge fees for our services, we are paid by the insurance carriers.
