Individual & Family Health Insurance Plans in Philadelphia and Beyond

Your Coverage Options

Health insurance plans for individuals and families vary by state, income, and healthcare needs. We help you explore:

  • ACA Marketplace Plans

    Available through Pennie in Pennsylvania and healthcare.gov in other states

  • Off-Marketplace Plans

    Offered directly by insurers, sometimes with different networks and benefits

  • Catastrophic Coverage

    Lower-cost plans for people under 30 or those with a hardship exemption

  • Short-Term Plans

    Temporary coverage between jobs or before major life transitions

Pennie – Pennsylvania’s Health Insurance Marketplace

For Pennsylvania residents, Pennie offers ACA-compliant plans with potential subsidies based on income. As a Pennie-certified broker, we make sure you don’t miss out on financial help that could significantly lower your monthly premiums.

For Families

Family health insurance is about more than covering doctor visits—it’s about peace of mind for parents. We’ll review your preferred pediatricians, OB/GYNs, and hospitals, and match them to plans that keep your providers in-network.
