INDIVIDUAL & FAMILY HEALTH

Health coverage for people who do not receive insurance through an employer.

A licensed insurance agent can help individuals and families review ACA Marketplace plans and other available health coverage, understand estimated costs, and prepare for enrollment.

WHO MAY NEED INDIVIDUAL COVERAGE

Coverage for changing work and family situations.

Eligibility and available plans vary. An agent can help identify the enrollment path that applies to your circumstances.

Self-employed individuals

Review coverage when you operate a business, freelance, or work without employer-sponsored health benefits.

Families buying their own coverage

Compare plans for adults and children while considering doctors, prescriptions, expected care, and household budget.

Loss of employer coverage

A job change, reduction in hours, divorce, or other qualifying event may create a special enrollment opportunity.

Turning 26 or other life changes

People leaving a parent’s plan, moving, marrying, or welcoming a child may need to review new coverage options.

WHAT TO COMPARE

Look at the full cost and how the plan works.

Monthly premium is only one part of the decision. Plan design and provider access can significantly affect what you pay and where you receive care.

Premiums and possible savings

Marketplace eligibility and household information may affect available premium tax credits or other cost assistance.

Doctors and hospitals

Check whether preferred physicians, specialists, clinics, and hospitals participate in the plan network.

Prescription coverage

Review formularies, drug tiers, pharmacy networks, deductibles, and coverage requirements.

Out-of-pocket exposure

Compare deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and the annual maximum out-of-pocket limit.

ENROLLMENT TIMING

Open Enrollment and Special Enrollment Periods.

Marketplace coverage is generally selected during the annual Open Enrollment Period unless a qualifying life event creates a Special Enrollment Period. Effective dates and documentation requirements depend on the event and application timing.

Information to have ready

Prepare household information, projected income, current coverage details, preferred doctors, prescriptions, and the date of any qualifying life event.
