Testimonials

"Thank you so much, Susan O! Advising me to contact Exhale Health yesterday has already been so helpful. I actually spoke with your friend Sarah, and even though there's still a lot to figure out, I feel so relieved and much more optimistic about my hunt for new health insurance. Sarah was so nice, and spent so much time talking to me. I wanted to recommend Exhale Health to all my friends because they help with all kinds of health insurance issues--enrollment, price comparison, claim denials, and more--and being unaffiliated with any insurance company, they can give unbiased advice. With all the health insurance company mergers happening now, and the sneaky things they are perpetually doing to keep their profits insanely high, I think companies like Exhale Health are going to be more and more necessary to protect us from insurance company shenanigans."

"The insurance company denied my claim, and I didn't know what to do. I'm so happy I exhaled!"

"The doctors and hospital said I owed over $2500 beyond my deductible, and my insurance company said they wouldn't cover it. I'm so happy I hired ExHale! I was assigned an expert that day, and she took care of everything for me. I ended up owing less than $200, not $2500. Thanks, ExHale!"

"Thank you so for your help! When my Medicare supplemental insurance said they wouldn't cover the drugs I have to take for cancer, I had no idea what to do. You made it easy for me, and I don't feel like I'm in this alone anymore!"
