About
Meet Dave Gagleard
There's a reason it's called Dave Knows Health.
Dave works with individuals, families, self-employed people and small businesses who want to understand health coverage before committing to it. The conversation starts with your situation, not with a plan.
Dave's philosophy
Most people are asked to make a significant financial and medical decision using vocabulary nobody explained to them. Dave's position is simple: understanding comes first. A client who understands the tradeoffs makes a better decision than one who was talked into a plan — and stays confident in that decision later.
How Dave evaluates coverage
He starts with the household and the doctors, moves to expected healthcare use, then to financial exposure in a difficult year, and only then to available options. Premium is the last number discussed, in the context of everything above it.
What working with Dave includes
Explanation of the terminology before the comparison, verification of network participation for the specific plans under consideration, an honest account of what a product does and does not cover, and availability after enrollment when questions come up.
