Short version: Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click and make a purchase or sign up, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Why we use affiliate links
HealthPlanBrief creates plain-English education to help people make better coverage decisions. Carefully chosen affiliate relationships can help us offset the time and cost of writing, editing, and maintaining these resources.
How affiliate links work
- Tracked referrals: Some outbound links use a unique tracking code so the partner knows you came from our site.
- No extra cost to you: Prices are the same whether you use our link or go directly to the partner.
- When we may earn: If you complete a purchase or sign-up, we may earn a commission or referral fee.
Editorial independence
Our educational content is written first and foremost to be useful. Affiliate status does not determine which topics we cover or how we evaluate options. If a product or service is not a fit, we will say so plainly.
Participating programs
We may participate in affiliate or referral programs with plan marketplaces, consumer finance tools, and related services. We will identify sponsored content clearly if/when it appears.

HealthPlanBrief is an educational initiative by Premier Shield Benefits (PSB). When you click “Talk to a Specialist,” you may be redirected to PSB to request a free consultation. PSB is an independent agency; any services provided there are governed by PSB’s terms and policies.
