Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week -- Candor, a healthcare coverage marketplace specializing in pairing Millennial consumers with top health plans, has announced availability of an app to help consumers find, select and purchase healthcare coverage (see also Candor Usa).

The iOS app, available for download on the Apple® App Store or via https://candor.insurance, makes it easy to find healthcare coverage by matching a consumer's healthcare needs with thousands of plans. Consumers can use the app to filter available plans by preferred doctor, geographic location, and life stage. The app enables side-by-side comparisons of plans, filtering plans by price range, annual deductible, maximum out-of-pocket expenses, plan type (HMO, PPO, EPO, POS), "metal" level of the plan (e.g., bronze, silver, gold, catastrophic), and monthly cost. The app also provides access to supplemental wellness and other add-on health-related services.

Consumers can use the app to model events that might occur, such as an accident, pregnancy or job change, to get a quick idea of costs and how life events might affect overall health expenses.

"The Candor app brings healthcare information and solutions to every American," said John Good, COO and cofounder, Candor USA. "The 2018 open enrollment time period is shorter, and uncertainty over the ACA exchanges is making it more confusing for consumers who need good healthcare. Candor is solving that problem."

The app and its associated software platform also incorporate tools and support for partner insurance agencies, health insurance carriers, wellness providers, and health care providers. The Candor app enables secure and instant transactions and provides partner agents and carriers with the ability to visualize market trends and business performance.
