Let\u2019s face it: health insurance can be really confusing and stressful. What\u2019s a deductible? How are copayments and coinsurances different? What are subsidies? What\u2019s the difference between an HMO and PPO? How much coverage do I need and how do I find insurance that fits my budget?<\/p>\n
Not only do you need the answers to those questions, but you need them now so that you can make the right decisions during the upcoming \u201cOpen Enrollment Period\u201d (or OEP for short), the one time of year when you can purchase or change your health insurance. This year OEP starts November 1st, 2018 (or October 15 if you live in California) and ends December 15. That means you only have 6 weeks to enroll in the health insurance plan that you\u2019re going to depend for all of 2019!<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to announce that we\u2019ve once again partnered with Stride<\/a>, a company that helps you save time and money on health insurance. They make it really easy to find the right coverage for you at the lowest possible prices and help you get enrolled in 10 minutes or less. While we\u2019re working with Stride on health insurance, transporters can also access Stride directly for help on taxes.<\/p>\n The good news: all of this will only take about 10 minutes. You\u2019ll answer a few questions on our safe & secure uShip & Stride site, get a personalized recommendation, and get enrolled. Along the way, Stride will let you know if you qualify for any subsidies (financial assistance from the government that you don\u2019t need to pay back) to make sure your payments are as low as possible. On average, uShip Carriers save $387 per month on health insurance through Stride. Oh, and you\u2019ll have access to year-round, free phone, chat or email support.<\/p>\n Why are we doing this? Simple: we\u2019re really glad to have you as part of the uShip community, and we want to be sure you and your loved ones have the coverage they need. We partnered with Stride to make that as easy for you as possible.<\/p>\n Updated 2022: Check out uShip Carrier Perks for more!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s face it: health insurance can be really confusing and stressful.
