Health Insurance for Self-Employed Houstonians

Working for yourself often means you're responsible for finding your own health coverage. I help self-employed individuals in Houston, Texas explore their options, including freelancers, 1099 contractors, independent contractors, consultants, sole proprietors, gig workers and small-business owners. I also work with individuals and families who are looking for coverage outside of an employer-sponsored health plan.

Compare Coverage That Fits Your Situation

There isn't one health insurance solution that works for everyone. Your needs may be different if you're a self-employed professional buying coverage for yourself, a parent looking for family insurance, or a business owner who no longer has access to an employer plan. Depending on your circumstances, we can look at ACA Marketplace plans, private health insurance, short-term medical coverage, indemnity plans, supplemental insurance, dental and vision coverage, Medicare and other available solutions.

Comparing plans involves more than looking at the monthly premium. Provider networks, deductibles, prescription benefits, copays, out-of-pocket maximums and access to preferred doctors and hospitals can all affect whether a plan makes sense for you and your household.

For People Who Work for Themselves

I help freelancers, 1099 workers, contractors, consultants, entrepreneurs, sole proprietors, LLC owners, gig workers and other self-employed professionals explore individual coverage.

Individual & Family Coverage

You don't have to be self-employed to work with me. I also help individuals and families compare health insurance based on their household needs, budget and preferred coverage.

Houston & Surrounding Areas

I help clients throughout Houston and the surrounding area compare health insurance options, whether they are purchasing coverage for themselves, their families or as self-employed workers.

Get Help Comparing Health Insurance Plans

Shopping for health insurance on your own can mean sorting through different carriers, networks, plan designs and coverage levels. As an independent health insurance broker, I can help you compare options from multiple insurance companies and narrow them down based on what matters most to you.

This can be particularly useful for self-employed Texans, freelancers and 1099 workers who need to arrange their own coverage, but my services are also available to individuals and families who simply want help understanding their health insurance choices.

Questions About Health Insurance in Houston

How can a self-employed person get health insurance in Houston?

Self-employed Texans can explore individual health insurance options, including ACA Marketplace coverage and other plans that may be available based on their circumstances. I can help you compare the choices that fit your situation.

What health insurance choices are available to 1099 workers?

A 1099 worker may be able to choose from several individual health insurance options. The appropriate choice can depend on household income, family size, budget, healthcare needs and whether an ACA Marketplace plan or another type of coverage is appropriate.

Yes. Freelancers and independent contractors can shop for individual health insurance when they need coverage outside of an employer-sponsored plan. The available choices depend on their circumstances and eligibility.

Start by looking beyond the premium. Deductibles, provider networks, prescription coverage, copays, out-of-pocket maximums, benefits and access to the doctors and facilities you use can all be important when comparing plans.

Can you help me if I'm not self-employed?

Absolutely. Self-employed health insurance is an important specialty of my practice, but I also help individuals and families compare coverage and find health insurance options that fit their particular needs and budget.
