Building your career or business independently can give you more freedom, but it also means taking care of your own health coverage. I help self-employed people in Austin, Texas evaluate their insurance choices, including freelancers, independent contractors, 1099 workers, consultants, entrepreneurs, sole proprietors, gig workers and small-business owners. I also work with individuals and families who need health insurance outside of an employer-sponsored plan.
Your health insurance needs can change depending on your work, income, family and healthcare situation. Whether you're a solo business owner looking for your own coverage, a parent shopping for insurance for your household, or a professional who has moved away from traditional employer coverage, I can help you review the options available to you. These may include ACA Marketplace health insurance, private health plans, short-term medical coverage, indemnity insurance, supplemental plans, dental and vision coverage, Medicare and other insurance products.
A good comparison should take into account more than the advertised monthly rate. Provider networks, deductibles, prescription coverage, copays, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximums and access to the doctors and facilities you prefer can all play an important role in selecting coverage for yourself or your family.
Whether you earn income as a freelancer, contractor, consultant, entrepreneur, 1099 worker or gig worker, I can help you explore individual health insurance options for your circumstances.
Self-employment isn't required. Individuals and families can also work with me to compare health insurance based on their household, budget, healthcare needs and coverage preferences.
I help clients in Austin and surrounding Central Texas communities review health insurance choices, whether they're self-employed, changing careers, starting a business or simply shopping for individual or family coverage.
With so many health insurance plans and coverage types to consider, it can be difficult to know where to start. As an independent health insurance broker, I can help you compare options from multiple insurance carriers and focus on the features that matter to you rather than looking at one plan in isolation.
