🍎 Ready for School Season! 🍎

As little ones head into a new school year, there’s so much excitement ahead—new classrooms, new friends, big milestones… and yes, new germs too! 😄

Many health insurance plans help cover recommended childhood immunizations and preventive care visits when using an in-network provider, making it easier for families to stay on track and start the school year strong.

Let’s help protect children as they enter a classroom environment where they’ll be learning, playing, and growing every day.

Let’s talk about HSAs (Health Savings Accounts)—especially since they’re being highlighted right now as a smart way to help lower health insurance costs 💙

1️⃣ What is an HSA?
An HSA is a savings account for medical expenses. The best part? Your money goes in tax-free, grows tax-free, and can be used tax-free for qualified healthcare costs.

2️⃣ Who can get an HSA?
You’re eligible if you have a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), aren’t enrolled in Medicare, and aren’t claimed as a dependent on someone else’s taxes.

3️⃣ How do you get one?
You can open an HSA through a bank or financial institution. Once it’s set up, you can start contributing and using the funds for eligible healthcare costs.

4️⃣ Why HSAs can help lower costs:
• Consumer-driven spending: Using your own pre-tax money encourages comparing prices and finding high-quality, lower-cost care.
• Reduced overuse: People with HSAs tend to use less unnecessary care while still getting the care they need, helping reduce wasteful spending.

5️⃣ What can you pay for with an HSA?
Swipe your HSA card for doctor visits, lab fees, dental braces, eyeglasses, prescriptions, pregnancy tests, and much more! (Fun fact: you can also use your HSA for your spouse and children’s eligible expenses!)

This Memorial Day, we at ABS want to pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸

Their courage, selflessness, and dedication will never be forgotten. Today, we reflect on the true meaning of this day and hold close the memories of those who gave everything for our country.

May we live in a way that honors their legacy. ❤️

🎓✨ Just Graduated? Let’s Talk Health Insurance You Can Actually Understand. 🩺💼

Congrats, Class of 2026! 🎉 Now that the diplomas are framed and the job hunt (or first job!) is in motion, it's time to tackle something nobody taught you in school—health insurance.

That’s where we come in. We are licensed health insurance agents who get it. We break things down in real terms—no jargon, no pressure.

We can help you:

• Understand your options (even if you're still on your parents' plan)
• Shop subsidized plans that fit entry-level paychecks
• Avoid coverage gaps while you’re getting started
• Find affordable care that works for your lifestyle

And the best part? My help doesn’t cost you anything. Working with an agent is free for you!

🎓 Tag a grad who’s entering the “real world” and might need help figuring this stuff out — because student loans are stressful enough. 😅

Business owners, let’s talk about the value of employee benefits for a moment.

One of the biggest concerns (outside of salary) employees have when considering a new job is what will happen to their benefits. It’s something I hear from clients all the time. Many employees hesitate to leave a position because they don’t want the hassle of comparing new plans, starting deductibles over, or potentially paying more for coverage somewhere else.

Offering group benefits can make a huge difference in employee retention and can help reduce the costs and time associated with turnover and training. It also makes your company more attractive to talented, motivated candidates who are looking for stability and long-term opportunities.

There’s another big advantage too — when employees have access to health insurance, they’re more likely to stay on top of their health, which can lead to fewer missed workdays and a more productive team overall.

At ABS, we help businesses of all sizes create employee benefit packages that fit their needs — whether you have fewer than 10 employees, a growing mid-sized company, or a large organization.
