If you work for yourself, receive 1099 income, or are a contractor — you don't have access to employer coverage. The ACA Marketplace is your path to individual coverage with possible subsidies.
If your employer doesn't offer insurance or the costs are too high, the ACA Marketplace may offer more affordable options — especially if you qualify for tax credits.
If you lost your job or employer coverage ended, you may qualify for a 60-day Special Enrollment Period to enroll right now.
Depending on your income and household size, you may qualify for financial help that significantly reduces your monthly premium — sometimes to $0.
Business owners who need personal coverage separate from their business or want to explore options outside group insurance.
If you can no longer stay on your parents' plan, the ACA Marketplace offers affordable options with full benefits for young adults in Florida.
All ACA Marketplace plans must include 10 essential health benefits — they are not optional.
Annual checkups, vaccines, and screenings at no additional cost. Catching problems early saves money and health.
Coverage for hospitalizations, surgeries, and emergency visits — protection when you need it most.
All plans include drug coverage. We help you review the formulary before enrollment to make sure your prescriptions are covered.
Coverage on par with other medical services. Includes therapy, counseling, and treatment.
Coverage from pregnancy through delivery. Marketplace plans cannot exclude maternity coverage.
Under the ACA, no insurer can deny you coverage or charge you more because of a pre-existing health condition.
All ACA plans cover the same 10 essential benefits. The metal tier determines how you and the insurance company split costs. Higher metal = lower costs when you use care.
If your income qualifies for Cost-Sharing Reductions (CSR), you must enroll in a Silver plan to get them. CSR can dramatically lower your deductible and copays — making Silver a better deal than Gold even if the premium is similar. Our brokers will show you the actual numbers side by side.
Most people who apply are surprised by how much financial help is available. Two types of savings apply to ACA plans:
If your income is between 100%–250% of the federal poverty level, you may also qualify for CSR — which lowers your deductible, copays, and out-of-pocket maximum on Silver plans. You must enroll in a Silver plan to receive this benefit. Our brokers will check both subsidies for you and show you the net cost after all savings are applied.
