Marketplace Alternative

Private coverage for healthy earners who don't qualify for large Marketplace subsidies

If you've looked at the individual health insurance market lately, you already know the challenge. Premiums for many unsubsidized families keep climbing, deductibles can be high, and the coverage can feel expensive compared to how often you actually use it. For healthy earners who don't qualify for large Marketplace subsidies, marketplace plans can feel misaligned with their needs and their budget.

Short-Term Medical Insurance

Temporary health coverage for life transitions

Short-term medical insurance provides temporary health coverage to help protect against unexpected medical expenses during life transitions, such as between jobs, after losing coverage, or while waiting for other insurance to begin.

“I came across Natalie at a wellness meet and greet. She was able to answer my questions and set up a time to meet. Her company was able to offer a better insurance plan and save me thousands of dollars in deductibles per year. She was very professional and offered different plans to meet my needs.
