LEGAL NOTICE & DISCLAIMER Privacy Statement
Effective 12/1/2006
This Privacy Policy covers the following website: www.forhealthinsurance.com
Commissions & Application Fee
Vista Health Solutions is an online health insurance brokerage specializing in the needs of the individual and the self-employed. Our goal is to advise & assist in the implementation of health insurance plans throughout the 50 states. We are not affiliated with any specific insurance company or government agency. We offer Health Insurance plans to the public in which we receive commission compensation directly from the insurance company. For individuals who elect to purchase a health insurance plan not sold through the Health Insurance Marketplace, an application processing fee per application may be charged. The reason for this processing fee is to cover the cost of completing your application, reviewing your application, and providing routine follow-ups with the insurance company to make sure that your application is being processed accordingly. For self-employed persons who elect to join a labor union & purchase their health insurance plan, we are required to collect union dues. Additionally, we charge an application processing fee per application (the reason why this fee is charged is listed above). We do our best to make sure that your application will be approved; however, it is the insurance company that makes the final decision on an approval or denial.
Health Marketplace Insurance Plans
Vista Health Solutions is not affiliated with any government body or any State or Federal Health Insurance Marketplaces such as healthcare.gov. We offer for sale health insurance plans originating from the State or Federal Health Insurance Marketplaces. All Marketplace health insurance premiums listed on forhealthinsurance.com originate from the actual insurance carrier or the Marketplace itself. Any calculations provided on forhealthinsurance.com about premiums, subsidies & tax credits originate and are estimates calculated by forhealthinsurance.com. Actual premiums, subsidies, and tax credits may only be calculated and offered by the respective Health Insurance Marketplaces. Fees are never added to Marketplace health plans. Our online form is not a health insurance application but rather a preliminary form used to gather the initial data required to set up a user account with Vista Health Solutions. The only way for individuals to apply for premium healthcare tax credits is through the respective Health Insurance Marketplace.
