Need an Individual Plan?

If you’re retired, self-employed, a student, unemployed, or your job doesn’t offer insurance, the ACA marketplace (like Healthcare.gov or your state’s exchange) is your go-to. Open enrollment is November 1 to December 15 for everyone, or you can also sign up after special life events. 

Individual ACA "Obamacare" health plans cover everything you’d expect - all the essential benefits plus maternity, pre-existing conditions, free preventive care - and most folks qualify for subsidies (premium tax credits) to help with premiums. To calculate out your subsidy, you’ll want to estimate your MAGI (modified adjusted gross) income (your CPA or financial advisor can help here, or just peek at line 11 on your last tax return).

Choosing the right plan can be tricky - some require referrals, some have different networks - so this is where a broker really shines. They can walk you through the options and help you pick what’s best for you.

Other individual insurance plans:

  • Disability (paycheck protection)
  • Dental
  • Long Term Care
  • Life
  • Life and LTC combo plans and annuities
  • Vision
