What Are The Benefits Of Private Insurance?

Health insurance shouldn’t chain you to a job or force you to give up the doctors you trust. We sit down with Katherine Clark of Fredrick Insurance Brokers to unpack how private coverage can create real freedom: plans that follow you through career changes, broader networks that help you keep your pediatrician or specialist, and options to tune deductibles and out-of-pocket limits to your budget. If you’ve ever felt stuck choosing between confusing tiers at work or narrow marketplace networks, this conversation offers a fresh, practical path.

We walk through smart ways families can save by moving spouses and kids off costly group add-ons, why many private plans offer PPO access without the top-tier employer price tag, and how underwriting can reward healthy lifestyles with lower premiums. Katherine shares how she customizes plans by asking the right questions—care usage, prescriptions, travel needs, and risk tolerance—then bundles benefits to reduce surprises and protect against big bills. The real win is clarity: understanding the trade-offs between premiums, deductibles, and maximum out-of-pocket so you pick coverage that matches how you actually use healthcare.

Service is the quiet advantage. Instead of waiting on hold with a giant call center or relying on HR to translate fine print, you get a dedicated advocate who helps with network checks, billing snags, and plan adjustments as life changes. With years of experience that predate the Affordable Care Act, Katherine brings hard-earned insights into what works today and how to avoid common pitfalls. If you want coverage that fits your life—portability, provider choice, and sensible costs—this episode lays out the steps to get there.
