"The Affordable Care Act's Essential Health Benefit provision requires specific procedures to be covered. Solstice plans go beyond the requirement, covering over 340 procedures," said Solstice COO Carlos Ferrera. "Our plans are affordable with low co-pays and our network of providers covers 39 counties, ensuring customers can find a provider at a location that's convenient and close."

Solstice plans are unique in that the company has developed an open access model in which customers do not have to pre-select a provider and can switch providers at any time. The plans feature no rosters, so there is no wait time for receiving dental care. "Since Solstice began offering this type of plan, we've received positive feedback from satisfied customers who appreciate the flexibility and hassle-free style of our plans," said Ferrera.
