The Protector Plan may fit if you…

A Marketplace (ACA) plan may fit if you…

  • Have a health condition, take regular prescriptions or expect ongoing care
  • Want protection for hospital stays and serious illness
  • May qualify for a tax credit that lowers your monthly cost
  • Want coverage that can't turn you down for pre-existing conditions

These are very different kinds of coverage. We check your Marketplace tax credit first, then compare both with you.

Help when you need it

Urgent care & a care coordinator

Eligible urgent care visits at First Health PPO centers have a flat per-visit cost. A care coordinator helps with questions and balance bills. Includes a prescription discount program, which is not drug coverage.

Peace of mind if something serious happens. If you have a major medical event, like a heart attack or an accident that sends you to the ER, you can move to fully insured coverage that starts back on the first of that month. We contact your Care Coordinator for you and help with every step, and once your related care is complete, you can return to the Protector Plan. Moving to fully insured coverage has an additional monthly access fee based on age ($1,000 to $2,500 per adult, plus $500 per child), paid before the switch.

Quick answers

Questions people ask first

Is the Protector Plan health insurance?

It's a limited-benefit plan, not major medical insurance and not a Marketplace (ACA) plan. Benefits have set dollar limits, and it doesn't have to follow ACA rules such as guaranteed issue and essential health benefits. That's why we compare it with your Marketplace options first.

Can I use my own doctor?

You can see providers on the First Health PPO list. We'll look up your doctors with you before you enroll.

What does it cost to work with you?

Nothing. There's no cost for our help and no pressure to enroll. We're paid by the company whose plan you choose.

The Cornerstone Protector Plan is a limited-benefit indemnity-style program, not a Qualified Health Plan under the Affordable Care Act, and is not required to comply with certain federal health insurance requirements that apply to major medical coverage — including guaranteed issue, essential health benefits, and no annual or lifetime dollar limits. If you experience a qualifying medical event, you — or Brandon & Jade on your behalf — can contact your Care Coordinator to convert to full-time program status, which provides fully insured coverage effective back to the first of that month. This conversion requires an additional monthly access fee based on age ($1,000–$2,500, plus $500 for dependents under 18). Once your related care is complete, you can return to the Protector Plan. Ask your Care Coordinator or Brandon & Jade for full pricing and plan details before enrolling.

You can also enroll in a Marketplace plan on your own, at no cost, at HealthCare.gov (CoverME.gov in Maine) or by calling the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596 (TTY 1-855-889-4325).
