Health Benefits Outside of LSS
Finding Non-LSS Health Benefits:
“Mylo” can help.
Looking for health benefits outside of LSS? Maybe you’re not eligible for LSS health benefits and need to shop around for a private plan? Maybe you’ve become eligible for Medicare, and you have questions? The Mylo resource below may be helpful… Mylo (powered by Lockton) can find the right health plan based on how often you use medical services, what regular prescriptions you use, whether you have must-see doctors, hospitals and providers — and more. Whatever your need, Mylo shops for an option from the best carriers around. Mylo can even help with Medicare questions. For more information, click here.
