AAFD Major Medical Benefit plans
What our Members are saying
“One of my service partners recently underwent surgery and shared glowing feedback about their experience. AAFD Health Major Medical has truly made a significant difference, and for that, I am incredibly grateful. Thank you for exceeding expectations!”
Steve was very helpful in identifying alternatives that meet the needs of our business. As a result, we were able to select coverage for our office staff at a premium rate over 50% less than our previous carrier. Support has been fantastic. AAFD Health Major Medical enrollment process is simple and painless and their support team is readily available for assistance…. (No waiting on hold to talk to someone).
On a personal note, I truly mean everything and more about how much AAFD Health Major Medical plan has taken care of me and my business. I am now on the other side of my cancer treatments and in monitoring mode as we watch, hope and pray that it is truly gone. The plan took such good care of me. I used to hate calling United Health for questions and assistance. Calling the Customer Care people in this plan is actually enjoyable. They answer the phone, are pleasant to talk with and truly seem to want to help answer questions. Thank you for all you did and continue to do!
