Support for Employees Navigating Health Insurance Changes

Written By Pete Chagnon

As an HR leader, you’re often the first-person employees turn to when life changes, and those changes are frequently followed by complex questions about health insurance.

At Woodside Financial Services, we provide HR teams with no-cost support for employees navigating key transitions, including (but not limited to):

• Leaving an employer-sponsored health plan due to reduced hours, wage changes, or affordability.

• Turning 65 and deciding between Medicare or remaining on an employer plan

• Fully or partially retiring

• New hires or employees needing ACA Marketplace coverage

These moments can feel overwhelming for employees. That’s where Woodside shines.

We work one-on-one with employees to clearly explain their options, help them avoid costly mistakes, and ensure a smooth transition…all while reducing the time and pressure on your HR team. We can also serve as a liaison between your employees and their health plan moving forward.

Our services are provided at no cost to you or your employees, as Woodside is compensated directly by insurance carriers.

Our goal is simple: support your employees while making your job easier.

We would love to be a resource for you and your team. Please feel free to reach out or share our information with any employee who could benefit from a conversation.
