Frequently Asked Questions

Health insurance (marketplace and private), dental, vision, life (term, whole, and universal), short-term medical, and travel insurance. As an independent brokerage we compare plans across multiple carriers rather than representing a single company.

ValleyView Health Co is licensed nationwide — you get the same dedicated, personal service wherever you call home.

A broker compares plans across carriers on your behalf, explains the trade-offs in plain language, handles the enrollment paperwork, and stays your point of contact for renewals, claims questions, and life changes — all year.

No. Brokers are compensated by the carriers, and your premium is exactly the same whether you enroll with us or on your own. Our consultations are free with zero obligation.

No. ValleyView Health Co is an independently owned and operated insurance brokerage and is not affiliated with or endorsed by HealthCare.gov, the Health Insurance Marketplace, or any government agency.

Yes. We'll review your current plan for free, check whether your doctors and prescriptions are covered efficiently, and tell you honestly if staying put is your best move.

Term life covers you for a fixed window — typically 10, 20, or 30 years — for a low premium. It pays out only if you pass away during the term, which makes it the most affordable way to cover time-limited needs like a mortgage or your children's dependent years.

Term life buys the most coverage per dollar and fits temporary needs; whole life costs more but never expires and builds guaranteed cash value. Many families combine a larger term policy with a smaller permanent one.

Dental is generally one of the more affordable insurance lines, with the price driven by the plan's annual maximum, network size, and coverage tiers. Comparing quotes across carriers is the fastest way to see your exact monthly cost.

You buy a policy for a specific trip, and it reimburses covered losses — emergency medical care, trip cancellation, baggage loss, delays. Medical coverage is the piece most worth having abroad, where most U.S. health plans don't reach.

Soon after making your first trip payment. Buying early maximizes the cancellation window your policy protects, and some benefits — like pre-existing condition waivers — are only available within a couple of weeks of your initial deposit.
