Deciphering the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)

Are you confused about our nation’s healthcare reform and what it means for you? You’re not alone! There are 2600 pages of statutes and the regulations are still being written. Important changes are already in place in 2010, with many more scheduled for 2011. Requirements will be phased in through 2018 and are subject to change.

Herlong Bates Burnett is committed to staying abreast of the changes in healthcare legislation and how the PPACA impacts our clients’ commercial and personal health insurance coverage. For a basic summary of what is included in the PPACA, click here. Please feel free to contact Gayle Dewitt with your questions at 864-331-3244 or gayle@herlongbatesburnett.com

Your PIPC -- Introducing A New Personal Insurance Resource From HBB

According to the latest research, most Americans are greatly underinsured particularly in these key personal insurance coverage areas: Life Insurance, Long-term Care, Disability, Critical Illness and Final Expense Planning.

While many employers provide a comprehensive benefits package, it is virtually impossible for employees to secure both the necessary types and levels of personal coverage through the workplace.

Now there is a direct, trusted and comprehensive resource to help you determine if you and your family are adequately protected.

Your PIPC, (Your Personal Insurance Planning Center) is a portal you can access through HBB’s website. Supported by America’s largest wholesale distributor of insurance, with access to over 200 of the nation’s top rated carriers, Your PIPC is a comprehensive source to help individuals make educated and confident decisions when it comes to supplementing or adding personal coverage.

Switching to HBB Saves
Family of Four $2000 Annually

As the writer of HBB’s e-news, let me “put my money where my mouth is” and highly recommend calling HBB for a comparison quote. After years of automatically renewing our auto/homeowner’s insurance through another provider and watching our premiums go up and up, my husband, John, called up HBB for free quote. To our delight, we now enjoy the same level of coverage and are saving over $2000 a year --even with two teenage male drivers. Valerie Bickley, Bickley Creative
