Affordable Care Act (or Obamacare) plans must have essential health benefits in order to comply with the new law. Unless your plan is grandfathered, it needs to contain these items.

The essential health benefits include at least the following items and services:

* Ambulatory patient services (outpatient care you get without being admitted to a hospital)
* Emergency services
* Hospitalization (such as surgery)
* Pregnancy, maternity, and newborn care (care before and after your baby is born)
* Mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment (this includes counseling and psychotherapy)
* Prescription drugs
* Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices (services and devices to help people with injuries, disabilities, or chronic conditions gain or recover mental and physical skills)
* Laboratory services
* Preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management
* Pediatric services

Eric was the best part in signing up for Medicare. He helped me choose the plans that work for me. I can't say, however, that I'm enjoying trying to navigate to schedule appointments, but I'm new at this. Hopefully it'll get a bit easier. Thanks, Eric!

Eric is very responsive to questions, he listened to exactly what I was looking for and found available options for insurance. As someone who is self-employed, he's been a huge help to me.

Eric is the insurance whisperer. He knows how to help those of us outside the corporate and organizational world ie artists, small business owners, independent contractors and the like. He's your "go to" for questions and solutions.

After I moved back to TN from living in FL for 2 years, I wanted to change medicare plans and because moving is so stressful and time consuming, I knew that I needed to consult an independent ins agent whom I could trust. I had lots of questions that he answered in such a way that left me assured that I chose the right plan. He is knowledgeable and cares about his clients, and I'm very relieved and happy that I chose Eric as my health consultant.
