Real Subsidies, Real Plans — Matched to Your Income

We check your household, income and doctors, then compare every Marketplace carrier for you.

Why ACA Coverage Surprises People (in a Good Way)

Most families qualify for bigger subsidies than they expect — premium tax credits are based on household income, not assets, and they apply instantly at checkout. Comprehensive plans cannot deny pre-existing conditions, cover the 10 essential health benefits, and cap your annual out-of-pocket costs.

On-Exchange vs Off-Exchange

On-exchange (Marketplace) plans unlock subsidies. Off-exchange private plans can offer broader networks or different plan designs if you don't qualify for credits — we quote both sides so you never overpay for the same coverage.

Timing Matters

Open Enrollment runs Nov 1 – Jan 15 in most states. Outside that window, life events — losing job coverage, moving, marriage, a new baby, losing Medicaid — open a 60-day Special Enrollment Period. A very low income may also mean you qualify for Medicaid/CHIP or a special enrollment window — we'll check for you.

The Metal Tiers — What You Pay vs What the Plan Pays

Tiers describe the cost split, not quality of care. Every tier covers the same essential benefits and caps your worst-case year.

Bronze
Plan pays ~60% · you pay ~40%

Lowest premium, highest deductible. Catastrophic protection for the healthy.

Silver CSR unlock
Plan pays ~70% · you pay ~30%

The only tier with extra Cost-Sharing Reductions if income qualifies — can quietly act like Gold/Platinum.

Gold
Plan pays ~80% · you pay ~20%

Higher premium, low out-of-pocket. Fits regular care & prescriptions.

Platinum
Plan pays ~90% · you pay ~10%

Top premium, minimal out-of-pocket. For heavy, predictable care needs.

Percentages are actuarial-value targets set by the ACA — exact plan designs vary; we confirm real numbers at quote.

Independent vs Captive — the Difference in Practice

A family meeting with an advisor
Illustrative example

The Carvalhos · family of 4, Boca Raton

Their Cigna Marketplace plan ends December 31, 2026 — and their pediatrician is in-network today.

Captive agent
  • Only the one carrier the agent represents
  • Pediatrician's network never checked
Independent — NovaVida
  • Every carrier on their exchange, side by side
  • Pediatrician and prescriptions verified per plan; SEP timed so there is no gap

Quick answers

Frequently Asked

Can I get help paying for coverage?

Most applicants qualify for premium tax credits based on household income and size; many also qualify for cost-sharing reductions on Silver plans. The subsidy is applied when you enroll — we confirm the exact amount during quoting.

Will my doctors be covered?

Networks vary by plan. Tell us your doctors and medications and we verify network and formulary before you enroll, never after.

What if I missed Open Enrollment?

A qualifying life event opens a Special Enrollment Period, generally 60 days from the event. Use our SEP checker or call us — we'll confirm your eligibility.
