How & Why of Porting Your Medical Insurance Cover

Image
How & Why of Porting Your Medical Insurance Cover As an insurance advisor, one of the most common questions I receive from my clients is: "Can I switch my health insurance provider if I’m not satisfied?" The answer is Yes – through Portability.
