Health Insurance Helps Keep Nevadans Healthy

From cooking and experimenting with new foods, to finding different ways to incorporate a new exercise regime, more Nevadans are making their health a priority.

A key factor to staying healthy is having health insurance. “People seem to be more open to the idea of health insurance. We’re getting more calls than before,” says Alberto Ochoa, CEO/President of Smart Buy Insurance, Inc. “It seems like more people are in tune with being fit – health is the new wealth.”

You can window shop to discover health, dental and even vision plans in an array of choices to align with your needs and your budget. You can also see if you’re eligible for financial assistance in the form of tax credits to help cover the cost of your monthly insurance premiums – 4 out of 5 enrollees qualify for assistance through Nevada Health Link. All health plans through Nevada Health Link cover the 10 Essential Health Benefits, which include preventative services, pre-existing conditions coverage, and behavioral health (to name a few).
