GMS ChoicePlan
The Choice is yours with GMS Health Insurance Plan
The perfect choice for your replacement insurance coverage.
When you have a job and have firmly established yourself as a go-to person for certain types of work or projects, the last thing on your mind is getting laid off. But, unfortunately, layoffs do happen, and often when you least expect them.
Adding to the frustration surrounding losing your job is losing your group health insurance benefits. Without those in place, you will have to pay out-of-pocket in order to cover certain medical costs. These add up quickly, especially during emergency situations.
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.

The ChoicePlan is the intermediate of the three replacement insurance coverage products offered by GMS. Its coverage level is higher than that of the EssentialPlan, but just under the PremierPlan
