If you’ve recently lost your job and benefits and require coverage for medical expenses you’ve incurred, there is a solution. The ChoicePlan from Group Medical Services provides replacement insurance coverage with guaranteed acceptance so you can manage your family’s health during gaps in your employment. You can apply for this coverage within 60 days of the loss of your group benefits plan.
