A lot of people don’t realize there may be more health insurance options out there than just the plan they currently have.

Private health insurance can be worth looking into if you want:

• More choices when comparing plans
• Different deductible and premium options
• Access to broader provider networks on certain plans
• Coverage that fits your budget and situation
• Options for individuals, families, and self-employed people

The biggest thing is don't just look at the monthly premium. Look at the deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, network, and what the plan actually covers.

If you're in the market for health insurance, I'm happy to take a look at your options with you.

💡 Health Insurance 101: What Is a Deductible?

A deductible is one of the most important parts of your health insurance plan, but it's also one of the most misunderstood.

Here's a simple way to think about it:

🏥 Imagine your plan has a $2,000 deductible.

If you need a medical procedure that costs $5,000:
✅ You pay the first $2,000 (your deductible).
✅ After that, your insurance begins sharing the remaining costs based on your plan's benefits.

Keep in mind:
✔️ Many preventive services, like annual wellness exams, are covered before you meet your deductible.
✔️ A lower monthly premium often comes with a higher deductible.
✔️ The lowest monthly payment isn't always the least expensive plan in the long run.

The best health plan isn't just about the monthly premium—it's about how much you'll pay when you actually need care.

💡 HEALTH INSURANCE TIP FOR HIGH-INCOME & HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS 💡

Many people assume the ACA Marketplace is the only option for health coverage, but that’s not always the case.

If you’re healthy and your income puts you above the tax credit range, it may be worth exploring coverage outside of the subsidy marketplace and comparing all available options.

Things to compare:
✅ Monthly premium
✅ Deductible & out-of-pocket costs
✅ PPO vs HMO access
✅ Network flexibility
✅ Coverage designed for your budget and needs

The lowest premium doesn’t always mean the lowest overall cost.

If you’re self-employed or paying full price for coverage, reviewing all available options before enrolling can make a big difference.

Comment “HEALTH” if you’d like help understanding what options may be available.

💡 Health Insurance 101: What’s a Deductible?

One of the most misunderstood parts of health insurance is the deductible.

Your deductible is the amount you pay for covered medical services before your insurance starts sharing the cost.

Example 👇

If your plan has a $2,000 deductible and you have a $3,000 medical bill:
➡️ You pay the first $2,000
➡️ Insurance helps cover the remaining eligible costs based on your plan.

A low premium doesn’t always mean a better plan — understanding the deductible can save you money long term.

📚 Health Insurance Basics: What Everyone Should Know

Choosing health insurance doesn't have to be complicated. Here are a few key terms that can help you understand your coverage:

✅ Premium – The amount you pay each month to keep your insurance active.

✅ Deductible – The amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance starts sharing costs.

✅ Copay – A fixed amount you pay for services like doctor visits or prescriptions.

✅ Out-of-Pocket Maximum – The most you'll pay in a year for covered medical expenses before your plan pays 100% of covered costs.

✅ Network – The doctors, hospitals, and providers your insurance works with. Staying in-network usually means lower costs.

💡 Remember: The cheapest plan isn't always the best value. It's important to look at the deductible, network, and overall coverage—not just the monthly premium.

⭐ Client Success Story ⭐

"I own a small business and had been paying over $1000 per month for health insurance with a high deductible. I assumed that was just the cost of having coverage as a self-employed individual.

After reviewing my options with Ian, I learned there were private marketplace plans available that I didn't even know existed. We found a plan that better fit my family's needs, lowered our monthly premium, and gave us access to a broader network of doctors.

The process was simple, and for the first time I actually understood what I was paying for. I'm glad I took the time to explore my options."

Every situation is different, but this is why I encourage people to review their coverage regularly. You may have more options available than you realize.

If you're self-employed, paying a high premium, or simply want a second opinion on your coverage, feel free to reach out.
