How it pays

It pays a set amount per service. Sometimes more than what is owed, sometimes less.

Two of the carrier's own worked examples, printed unchanged on Preferred 4000, the middle of three tiers.

Doctor office visit

In network

Provider bills
$175
Network rate
$72
Health ProtectorGuard pays
$100

Where it lands A check for $28 is mailed to you

The set amount is larger than the negotiated rate, so the difference comes back to you.

Emergency room, one visit

In network

Provider bills
$5,770
Network rate
$2,400
Health ProtectorGuard pays
$500

Where it lands You owe $1,900

Here the set amount is smaller than the negotiated rate, and the rest of that rate is yours to pay.

Health ProtectorGuard pays up to $2,000,000 per person per calendar year and $5,000,000 per person for life. Those two figures are ceilings on what the plan itself pays out. Health ProtectorGuard has no ceiling on what you can owe: whatever your bills come to above the amounts it pays is yours.

Before you decide

Questions, answered straight.

Still wondering something? Talk to a real person. Call (631) 903-2511.

What does this plan not cover?

Health ProtectorGuard pays fixed cash per covered service against a published schedule, not a percentage of the bill. Anything above those amounts is yours to pay. A condition treated, or showing symptoms an ordinarily prudent person would have acted on, in the 12 months before coverage started is excluded for up to 12 months. Per person it pays up to $2,000,000 a calendar year and $5,000,000 for life, ceilings on its payout. It is not minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act, nor a substitute for major medical coverage.

Why is it about half the usual cost?

Because it is health underwritten, not guaranteed issue. Four health questions decide who it takes, instead of everyone by law. The honest consequence is that not everyone qualifies. If it is not for you, we say so in the first ninety seconds and show you ACA instead.

What is the catch? How do you make money?

Carriers pay a standard placement fee, the same no matter which plan you choose, so there is no incentive to steer you toward a pricier one. You pay your monthly premium and nothing else. No upsell, no premium tier, no concierge add-on.

Is ShopHealthcare legit?

Yes. ShopHealthcare is an independent marketplace operated by Core Value Insurance Associates, LLC, a licensed brokerage in 37 states under NPN 19482230. Look it up at nipr.com before sharing a single piece of personal info.
