How it works

Four steps. No pressure.

A simple, free review — built around your situation, not a sales script.

How it works

From confused to clear

1

Tell me what's going on

Whether you're self-employed, leaving a job, covering your family, or paying too much, I start with your situation.

2

I check available options

We look at what may be available based on your state, household, budget, health needs, and eligibility.

3

We compare the real details

Monthly cost, deductible, max out-of-pocket, doctor networks, prescriptions, and coverage type.

4

You choose what makes sense

No pressure. I explain the options clearly so you can decide with confidence.

Side by side

What we'll compare together

A lower monthly payment is only one part of the decision. I help you look at the real details before you choose.

Monthly cost

What you'd actually pay each month, on your budget.

Deductible

What comes out of pocket before coverage kicks in.

Max out-of-pocket

What a worst-case year would really cost you.

Doctor networks

Whether your doctors and hospitals are covered.

Prescriptions

Your medications, checked before you choose.

Private vs Marketplace options

Both routes, compared honestly — including subsidies.

COBRA alternatives

What else may be available before paying full COBRA price.

Start dates

When coverage could actually begin.

Eligibility

What you qualify for based on your situation.

Family coverage

Options for covering a spouse or kids without overpaying.

Sound familiar?

Common situations I help with

  • Your employer plan is affordable for you, but too expensive for your family
  • COBRA is available, but the monthly cost feels too high
  • You're self-employed and need to compare options
  • You want to know if your doctor or prescriptions can be covered
  • You missed open enrollment and need to understand what may still be available
  • You want a second opinion before choosing a plan
