Health insurance can be complicated. Premiums, deductibles, provider networks, prescription coverage, enrollment periods, and plan benefits can all affect which option makes the most sense for you and your family.
At Insurance Benefits Consultants, we take a personalized approach. Rather than leaving you to compare plans on your own, our advisors help explain your options in straightforward terms.
We can help you:
Our goal is to help you feel informed and confident before choosing your coverage.
Healthcare needs vary from one person or family to another. That is why we help clients explore several types of health insurance coverage depending on their circumstances.
ACA Marketplace Plans provide health insurance options for individuals and families who may not have access to employer-sponsored coverage or another qualifying source of insurance.
These plans provide comprehensive medical coverage and include protections and benefits required for qualifying Marketplace health plans.
Depending on eligibility, individuals and families may also qualify for financial assistance that can help reduce the cost of coverage.
ACA Marketplace Plans may include:
Our licensed advisors can help you compare available Marketplace options, understand potential costs, and determine whether you may qualify for financial assistance.
If you are enrolling during the annual Open Enrollment Period or have experienced a qualifying life event that may make you eligible for a Special Enrollment Period, we can help you understand your next steps.
Short-Term Health Insurance is designed to provide temporary coverage during certain gaps or transitions.
This type of coverage may be worth considering if you are:
Short-term plans can differ significantly from ACA Marketplace coverage and may not include the same benefits, protections, or coverage requirements.
Because coverage varies by plan, it is important to understand what is and is not covered before enrolling. Our advisors can walk you through available options and help you determine whether short-term coverage makes sense for your situation.
Depending on your needs, supplemental insurance may provide additional financial protection alongside your primary health coverage.
These policies are designed to help with certain covered expenses or events that may not be fully addressed by traditional health insurance.
Our team can help you explore available supplemental coverage and determine whether adding additional protection may make sense for you or your family.
Health insurance outside of an employer-sponsored plan may be appropriate for people in many different situations.
We frequently help:
Your situation is unique, which is why we believe health insurance should never be approached as a one-size-fits-all decision.
One of the most common questions we receive is whether financial assistance may be available through the ACA Marketplace.
Eligible individuals and families may qualify for premium tax credits that can help reduce the cost of Marketplace coverage. Eligibility can depend on factors such as household income, household size, and other circumstances.
Because eligibility varies, our advisors can help you understand the Marketplace process and review the options available based on the information you provide.
Changes in life often come with changes in health insurance needs.
You may need to reconsider your coverage after:
If you are unsure what options may be available following a major change, our team can help you evaluate your situation and understand the coverage choices you may have.
Whether you are exploring an ACA Marketplace Plan, Short-Term Health Insurance, or another health coverage option, Insurance Benefits Consultants is here to help.

Health insurance outside of an employer-sponsored plan may be useful for self-employed individuals, families without employer coverage, people between jobs, early retirees, college graduates, individuals aging off a parent’s plan, and others who need to secure their own coverage.
ACA Marketplace Plans are health insurance plans available through the Health Insurance Marketplace. They provide comprehensive coverage and include protections such as coverage for pre-existing conditions. Eligible individuals and families may also qualify for financial assistance that can help reduce premium costs.
Some individuals and families may qualify for premium tax credits or other financial assistance based on eligibility requirements such as household income and family size. Our advisors can help you understand your options and the enrollment process.
Short-Term Health Insurance provides temporary coverage that may help bridge certain gaps in insurance, such as periods between jobs or while waiting for other coverage to begin. Benefits and limitations vary by plan, and short-term coverage may not provide the same protections or benefits as ACA Marketplace coverage.
The right plan depends on factors such as your healthcare needs, budget, preferred doctors and facilities, prescription needs, available coverage options, and how long you expect to need the policy. Our licensed advisors can help you compare your options and better understand the differences between plans.
