Kathleen L.

Shari was very knowledgable and helped me come to a decision in choosing my plan. I had a question and left a message for her, she got back right away! She is very easy to talk with.

Nicola D.

Shari has you covered. Her advice and knowledge are top notch. I now feel confident that I am very well covered for any emergencies. She checked with me as I paid and got confirmation of my activation. I still work and am not taking social security, so I felt a bit overwhelmed. Shari helped get me off the ledge. Thank you for your professionalism.

Grace N.

Ask the Expert

Quick answers to common questions.

Get expert insight on Medicare, Marketplace, and your coverage options.

Why did my individual Marketplace premium just jump by over 100%?

You are likely experiencing the “Federal Subsidy Cliff.” On December 31, 2025, the enhanced federal tax credits expired. While New Jersey still offers NJ Health Plan Savings for households earning up $93,900 for an individual, the loss of federal aid means the average enrollee is seeing their net cost nearly double.

My small business renewal came back with a 15%+ increase. Is this normal?

Yes, a 15%+ increase on a small business health insurance renewal is currently common across New Jersey and the broader group market. Health insurance carriers regularly adjust rates annually due to rising medical costs, pharmacy claims, and overall utilization.

Does the new Medicare $2,100 drug cap apply to me even if I’m in an Advantage Plan?

Yes, the annual $2,100 out-of-pocket prescription drug cap applies to you in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan.

The cap applies automatically to all Medicare Part D coverage, whether you get it through a standalone Part D plan or integrated into a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) plan.
