Absolutely. All Benefactors must maintain medical insurance. However, most Benefactors will be best served by high-deductible PPO (preferred provider organization) insurance like Blue Cross or Blue Shield. If you are currently purchasing your own HMO or PPO insurance, switching to a high-deductible plan may cut your premiums by half or more! Please contact Hibl Insurance Services.
