CMS has implemented a 6-month moratorium on new Medicare suppliers for Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS). While this initiative targets fraud prevention, it often traps patients and businesses in complex regulatory red tape.

At Total Benefit Solutions, we specialize in navigating these state and federal regulations so you don't have to. We understand the technical nuances of Medicare Part B and supplier standards. We refuse to let insurance bureaucracy stand in the way of your access to care.

Our commitment is absolute: we never accept "no" for an answer. Whether you are on an ACA plan, Medicare, or managing small business benefits, we fight to ensure you receive the equipment you deserve without unnecessary delays.

Don't let a regulatory freeze interrupt your healthcare. Contact us today to navigate these supplier changes effectively.

Bronze, Silver, or Gold? 🥉🥈🥇 If you’re shopping for ACA coverage for the first time, don’t let the "metal levels" trip you up.

It’s not about the quality of care: it’s about how you and your plan share costs.
🔹 Bronze plans usually have the lowest premiums but higher deductibles.
🔹 Silver plans are the "middle ground" and can offer extra savings if you qualify for subsidies.
🔹 Gold plans have higher premiums but lower out-of-pocket costs when you actually need care.

Not sure which "color" fits your lifestyle? Don't guess. Let the experts at Total Benefit Solutions advocate for you and find the perfect match for your budget.

The ‘Hidden’ Health Benefit: How Dental Coverage Catches Major Medical Issues Early

Here's something most small business owners don't realize when they're cutting costs on group health benefits: dental coverage isn't just about preventing cavities. It's one of the most effective early warning systems for serious medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and oral cancer. At Total Benefit Solutions, we've spent three decades fighting for employers who deserve better than "bare minimum" benefits packages....

Why We Never Let Carriers Say ‘No’ to Necessary Dental Surgery

Picture this: One of your employees gets a diagnosis, jaw tumor, severe infection requiring hospitalization, or a traumatic injury that shatters three teeth and damages the bone. The oral surgeon says surgery is medically necessary. Your employee submits the claim. And then the insurance carrier sends back a denial letter with some version of "dental procedures aren't covered under your medical plan."...

Moving across state lines or even just to the next county? Your health insurance doesn't automatically follow you.

A change in residence is a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) that triggers a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). In the ACA marketplace, plan availability, provider networks, and premium ratings are strictly dictated by your zip code and county of residence. A move often means your current network becomes "out-of-area," potentially leaving you with limited access to care or unexpected balance billing if you don't update your coverage timely.

Navigating network adequacy and regulatory shifts during a move is complex. As your health insurance advocates, we specialize in identifying these geographic discrepancies and securing your benefits. We don't accept "no" for an answer when it comes to your rights and access to care.

You can review, compare, and enroll on plans in minutes. Ensure your coverage moves with you.

Turning 26 is a major milestone, but it also triggers a critical change in your health insurance. Under current federal regulations, aging out of a parent's plan is a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) that opens a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). This is your window to secure independent coverage.

Total Benefit Solutions acts as your advocate, cutting through the insurance bureaucracy to find the right fit for your needs. We never accept "no" as an answer when fighting for your benefits and rights.

Tired of the "P*P Gatekeeper"?

With most ACA HMOs, you can’t see a specialist without a referral from your Primary Care Physician. That means two appointments, two copays, and weeks of waiting just to get your knee looked at.

Our PPO alternatives are "Open Access." You want to see a cardiologist? Call one. You need a dermatologist? Book it. No permission slips required. It’s your health; you shouldn't need a gatekeeper.

Ever looked at your health plan options and felt like you were staring at a bowl of alphabet soup? 🥣 HMO, PPO, EPO... what’s the difference? Choosing the right network is just as important as choosing your metal level!

✅ HMO: Usually requires a primary care doctor and referrals.
✅ PPO: More flexibility to see specialists without a referral.
✅ EPO: A mix of both: no referrals needed, but you must stay in-network.
