Sorry! Nevada Health Link is down at the moment!

Is that what you were told when you called us? Well, we are just as frustrated as you are!

We are continuously receiving phone calls from customers who are trying to apply online through nevadahealthlink.com saying "I went online to the exchange and it is telling me there are no plans available". Of course it does bring us more customers, but we want our customers to be happy.

When the site first came up and we had the same issues we blogged asking for patience. Who would have thought we still need to ask the same thing almost two months later!

Well, don't worry...we are here to help and can do the application for you. Stop being patient, and call us. We have done hundreds of these apps and finished them!

Below is another article, featuring Nevada Benefits, in the Las Vegas Review Journal discussing these issues:

"Essential" Health Benefits?

Have you looked at what is now included in the "Essential Health Benefits" required to be included in the new health plans for Obamacare?  Who is this benefiting? What we are seeing is that these plans are not very universal. People may be paying for many additional services that they will never use. How is that helpful to anyone besides the insurance companies?

Although, if only those who will definitely use the coverage pay for that, the insurance companies will not be able to afford all the cost associated, there has to be some kind of balance. All the extra coverage could even become harmful to many that may get unnecessary testing done. Some of the test may seems like a good idea to get for preventing other illnesses, but that is not always the case. Some test can be harmful if not done when necessary.
