Why health & wellness matter for IC insurance

Selecting the best health insurance coverage is difficult for anyone, especially for independent contractors who are usually too busy on the road to do extensive research and price comparison. That’s why Openforce partnered with The Insurance Desk, a team of licensed health coverage consultants who help inform ICs of the options available to them in a direct, no-nonsense approach.     

In this episode, host Nick Hancock interviews Matt Deskins, the owner of The Insurance Desk. As a licensed health coverage consultant, Matt and his team help ICs find the best health insurance coverage for themselves and their families. Learn how health and wellness plays a role in insurance rates, and why having guidance from resources such as The Insurance Desk saves time and money for ICs and small business owners.
