Comprehensive health insurance is the type of insurance coverage that covers the cost of medical and surgical expenses of an insured. Nevada Silver Life and Health Insurance Agency has many options for your family’s individual health insurance. Plans can be purchased privately or through the Nevada State Exchange Marketplace, Nevada Health Link, where you can receive premium tax credits towards your premium depending on your annual household income.
