’26 and Over’ joins Fort Chamber

A health insurance solutions company called “26 and Over” has joined the Fort Atkinson Area Chamber of Commerce. 

According to information released by the chamber, the loss of health insurance at age 26 seems to be the last rite of passage for adults, but a potential business solution for those individuals has just joined the Fort Atkinson Area Chamber of Commerce. The mission of 26 and Over is to help entrepreneurs get quality and affordable healthcare.

Founded in December 2021 by proprietor Erin Erickson, 26 and Over customizes health insurance plans for individuals who are either business owners or independent contractors. These custom private plans are based on health and not income, but there is an option to purchase from the public marketplace as well, according to the release.

As someone who has experienced this journey personally, Erickson understands the demographic of small business owners and 1099 contractors, and acknowledges they have the least number of resources and solutions available for good healthcare. Eventually, she would like to expand 26 and Over to provide solutions for part-time W2 employees, the release stated. 

26 and Over compares public and private plans and educates clients on the differences while building a plan that fits their needs. Erickson explained in the release, saying: “My broker will never sell you something you don’t need, and he will not push you to purchase anything. If you’re looking for a little health insurance education, he’ll tell you all you need to know in 15 minutes. If you’re paying high premiums with high deductibles and have a limited network and think you could do better, I bet you can.”

26 and Over is located on the 4^th floor of the Creamery Building, 201 N Main Street, Fort Atkinson. Business hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
