Employer-style PPO.
Without the employer.

If you write your own paychecks, the marketplace was not designed for you. We place self-employed clients onto large-employer-grade PPO plans with copays, full RX, mental health, and ancillary riders — starting at $339/mo.

/01 Why this exists

The marketplace
is not your only option.

If you've left a W-2 job — or never had one — you've probably been told you have two choices: the public marketplace or a high-deductible catastrophic plan. That's not true.

Through specific carrier programs, we can place 1099 individuals and single-owner businesses onto the same caliber of PPO plan that a 5,000-person company gets. Doctor copays. Specialist copays. 100% paid annual physicals. Real prescription coverage. Mental-health visits included. The whole stack.

What's in the plan

/ 01

Doctor & specialist copays

Flat copay for primary care and specialist visits. No deductible math at the front desk.
/ 02

Annual exams at 100%

Physical, blood work, colonoscopy, and mammogram covered at $0 out-of-pocket.
/ 03

Real RX coverage

Tiered prescription benefits with generics typically $0–$15. Brand and specialty covered.
/ 04

Mental health

In-network therapy and psychiatry treated like a specialist visit. No carve-outs.
/ 05

Optional riders

Dental, vision, accident protection, hospital expense, critical illness, term life — at carrier wholesale.

Two architectures, depending on you

A. Copay PPO

For frequent users.

If you see doctors more than once or twice a year — or carry a prescription — the math almost always lands here. Higher premium, near-zero surprises.

B. Major Medical

For healthy & lean.

Lower premium with a deductible. $50 unlimited urgent care. Smart for healthy folks who want catastrophic protection without paying for what they don't use.

/02 What it looks like

From "I'm 1099"
to ID cards.

Five to ten business days, depending on the carrier and your underwriting path. No paperwork sent to you — we do it all.

/ DAY 0

The call

20 minutes. Doctors, prescriptions, budget, household. We learn what you actually use insurance for.

/ DAY 2

The math

Side-by-side from five carriers, with estimated annual cost-of-care for your specific situation.

/ DAY 3

The decision

You choose. We answer everything. No pressure on which carrier you pick — our fee is the same.

/ DAY 5–10

The cards

We submit, follow up, and put ID cards in your inbox. Then we stay on as your broker — forever.

/03 Questions

For the
self-employed.

The questions we get on the first call.

How can a 1099 person get an "employer-style" plan?+

Specific carriers offer non-employer-sponsored group programs that an individual or single-owner business can qualify for. These programs were designed for exactly the gap you're in. We confirm eligibility on the first call.

What about my LLC or S-corp?+

If you're set up as an LLC, S-corp, sole prop, or you draw 1099s — we can usually work with it. We'll ask a couple of structural questions to figure out which path makes sense.

Is this ACA-compliant?+

Yes. The plans we place are full major-medical ACA-compliant coverage with the federally required essential health benefits. This is not short-term, indemnity, or sharing-ministry coverage.

What if I have a pre-existing condition?+

No issue. ACA-compliant plans cannot deny or rate-up for pre-existing conditions. We routinely write coverage for clients managing chronic illness, including pregnancy.

Are you tied to one carrier?+

No. We're independent and contracted with Anthem, BCBS, Cigna, UHC, and Aetna. Every quote runs through all five. Our recommendation comes from the math, not a carrier relationship.
