Review your insurance coverage now to prepare for upcoming vacations.

🏠 Most homeowners’ insurance policies provide some level of coverage related to travel, like liability and theft.

✈️ A comprehensive travel insurance policy can add extra protection for medical emergencies, travel interruptions, and personal belongings.

💦 Bonus Summer Tip: If you own a pool, consider adding a host liability policy to your homeowners’ insurance before hosting a party or event.

PennDOT requests proof of insurance for various reasons, but it's often related to switching auto insurance companies.

If your company cancelled your policy in error or failed to send you a proper cancellation notice, you can file a complaint through our Consumer Services Online (CSO) Portal: https://www.pa.gov/agencies/insurance/consumer-help-center/complaints-questions-help

Otherwise, it’s best to work with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) directly to resolve anything regarding your vehicle registration or fees.

Take advantage of your health insurance benefits to quit smoking and va**ng!

The Affordable Care Act requires health insurers to provide to***co cessation services at no out-of-pocket cost.

Despite declining smoking rates nationwide, Pennsylvania men continue to smoke and v**e at higher rates than women.

No matter how old you are or how long you’ve used to***co, quitting can significantly improve your health and wellbeing.

When you’re looking for health insurance information online, don’t be tricked by websites impersonating government resources.

Top search results are often ads, and you should keep scrolling until you see a trustworthy URL.

💡 The best place for Medicare resources is medicare.gov, and pennie.com is Pennsylvania’s official health insurance marketplace.

When you search online, do you click the first result you see? You’re not alone. But that habit could cost you — especially if you’re searching for health insurance or government healthcare programs like Medicare.
