Individual Health Insurance
Major Medical Health Insurance Plans (Marketplace)
HEALTH INSURANCE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY (under 65)
When you need comprehensive health coverage
We have over 30 years of experience providing expert guidance to Arizonians when buying health insurance.
Through the marketplace, we offer a variety of individual and family major medical health insurance plans from some of the best carriers in the nation. Meeting all of the minimum essential benefit standards of the Affordable Care Act (ACA or “Obamacare”), these plans provide a broad range of inpatient and outpatient health-care services and are designed to cover most of your significant healthcare costs. They also contain many preventative and wellness benefits that help to keep you and your family healthy, including some mental health benefits.
Do you need comprehensive coverage? Determining your needs depends on your circumstances. If you have a pre-existing condition and expect to use a lot of health services, the Marketplace may be your best option for comprehensive coverage today. You may also qualify for a subsidy that will lower your premium.
Types of Health Plans
The following types of health plans are offered on the Marketplace. Note the marketplace also offers some dental plans.
An HMO or Health Maintenance Organization is a network of healthcare providers who provide services for an agreed monthly fee. A primary care physician directs your care.
A PPO or Preferred Provider Organization is a network of healthcare providers that charge a certain rate, you may go out of network, but those services may not be fully covered.
An HSA is a health savings account that lets you set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for qualified medical expenses.
Health Insurance, the Marketplace & The Affordable Care Act
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The federal government has eliminated the ACA mandate. While some states have implemented their own mandates for health insurance, Arizona is not one of them. While you are not required to have health coverage in Arizona, there are many good reasons to buy a plan from the Healthcare.gov (the Marketplace).
The Federal Marketplace is where you can purchase health insurance (also known as Obama Care) for you and your family. A plan from the marketplace is considered a comprehensive major medical plan and also contains the essential health benefits as established under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) law. When you purchase your health insurance through Healthcare.gov (the Marketplace) you are guaranteed issue regardless of any pre-existing condition and you may be eligible for a subsidy to help off-set high premiums.

It’s important to know that you can only buy health insurance from the Marketplace during the annual open enrollment which is November 1 to December 15th, or unless you qualify for the special enrollment period.
You can still sign up for health insurance after the deadline if you meet any of the following qualifying events:
- a change in legal marital status
- a change in the number of dependents
- a change in place of residence and the current carrier is not available
- significant cost or coverage change
- a change in coverage of a spouse or dependent
- a COBRA qualifying event
- legal judgements, decrees and orders
- entitlement to Medicare or Medicaid
As healthcare costs continue to sky-rocket, why go without coverage and run the risk of financial ruin should you or a family member suffer an expected illness or accident? Studies show that most personal bankruptcies are caused by illnesses and accidents leaving individuals unable to work and strapped with medical bills.
If you qualify for a tax subsidy, a comprehensive health plan from the Marketplace can protect you from financial disaster. Non-ACA alternatives such as Short-Term Health Insurance, and/or other Supplemental Health Plans , will cost you a lot less than an unsubsidized major medical plan and can protect your finances as well. However, keep in mind some of these plans have limitations and, in some cases, do not cover certain and/or preexisting conditions. Click here to learn more about Supplemental Health Plans.
