Health Insurance
Health Insurance for Individuals, Families, and the Self-Employed
In today’s world, having reliable health insurance is not a luxury—it’s a fundamental part of financial stability and personal well-being. Whether you’re self-employed, a small business owner, between jobs, or simply looking for a better plan for your family, the marketplace can be confusing. With terms like ACA, Obamacare, Marketplace health insurance, and private health insurance often used interchangeably, it’s hard to know where to start. Kimberley Sweetalla specializes in simplifying this process, helping you find a plan that fits your life and budget.
Understanding Your Options Through the Marketplace (ACA/Obamacare):
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), often called Obamacare, created the Health Insurance Marketplace, a platform where individuals and families can shop for and compare health plans. Through platforms like the federal marketplace or state-based exchanges such as Connect for Health Colorado, you can find comprehensive coverage that includes essential health benefits, like preventive care, emergency services, and prescription drugs.
One of the most significant advantages of the Marketplace is the availability of financial assistance. Based on your income and household size, you may qualify for:
- Premium Tax Credits: These subsidies lower your monthly insurance premium, making quality coverage more affordable.
- Cost-Sharing Reductions: This extra savings lowers your out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, if you choose a Silver-level plan.
As certified Marketplace agents, we can quickly determine if you are eligible for these savings and guide you through the application process to maximize your financial assistance. We ensure your application is accurate, helping you avoid potential issues down the road.
Private Health Insurance and 1099 Health Insurance
For those who do not qualify for subsidies or prefer to explore options outside the government exchange, private health insurance offers a wealth of choices. This is an essential area for freelancers, contractors, and gig workers who need 1099 health insurance. Off-exchange plans can sometimes offer different provider networks or benefits that may be a better fit for your specific needs. We work with a broad portfolio of top-rated carriers, allowing us to present you with a wide array of PPO, HMO, and HSA-compatible plans. We’ll compare networks, deductibles, and coverage details side-by-side, so you can confidently choose the plan that gives you the access to care you need.
Employee Health Planning for Small Businesses:If you are a small business owner, offering health insurance can be a game-changer for attracting and retaining top talent. We specialize in employee health planning, designing benefits packages that are both attractive to your team and affordable for your business. We can help you explore group plans, Qualified Small Employer Health Reimbursement Arrangements (QSEHRAs), and other strategies to provide meaningful health benefits.
Medicaid and Other Resources:We are committed to ensuring everyone has access to care. For individuals and families with limited income, Medicaid provides comprehensive health coverage. We can help you understand the eligibility requirements in your state and assist you with the application process, ensuring you connect with the resources available to you.
