Clear Health Coverage Guidance for Individuals and Families

We help you understand how different types of health coverage work, including plan structures, costs, provider access, and tradeoffs. This is particularly important for those who are self employed and need to navigate options like health insurance and dental insurance. Our goal is to ensure you understand your options, including the implications of being classified as a 1099 worker, before making a decision.

Instead of offering a single solution, we compare various plan types, including options for 1099 workers, to help you understand the differences in dental insurance and health coverage. This way, you can determine which type of health insurance may best suit your needs as a self employed individual.

As a self-employed individual, you work directly with a licensed benefits consultant who answers your questions, clearly explains the details of health insurance and dental insurance options, and assists with enrollment when you are ready to secure health coverage that meets your needs as a 1099 worker.

Our support does not stop after enrollment. We remain available to help with questions about your health insurance, coverage changes, and life events that may affect your plan, especially for those who are self employed or navigating 1099 situations, including dental insurance options.

ACA plans provide essential health coverage with major medical benefits and consumer protections. These health insurance options are accessible both on and off the public marketplace, and for those who are self employed, there may be opportunities for financial assistance based on eligibility. Additionally, some plans may include dental insurance as part of their offerings, which can be beneficial for 1099 workers.

ACA health plans are major medical insurance plans that meet federal standards for health coverage. These plans, which are particularly beneficial for the self-employed, include essential health benefits such as preventive care, hospital services, prescriptions, and maternity care. Additionally, many of these plans offer options for dental insurance. ACA health plans are available through the public marketplace as well as directly through insurance carriers, making them accessible for those who work as 1099 contractors.

ACA plans are often a good fit for individuals and families, including those who are self-employed, seeking comprehensive health coverage and predictable benefits. Some people may qualify for financial assistance based on household income, while others choose these health insurance plans for their broad protections and standardized structure. Additionally, many self-employed individuals also consider dental insurance as part of their overall coverage.

Health-share programs are membership-based cost-sharing communities, distinct from traditional health insurance. Members, often self-employed individuals, contribute a monthly amount, and those funds are used to help cover eligible medical expenses within the group, following program guidelines. These health coverage options typically emphasize shared values, personal responsibility, and lower monthly costs. However, it's important to note that health-shares do not provide the same guarantees or consumer protections as ACA health insurance, nor do they typically include benefits like dental insurance. Members may also receive a 1099 form for their contributions, which can impact their tax filings.

Healthshare programs may be a good fit for: 

• Generally healthy individuals or families 

• People who do not qualify for ACA subsidies 

• Self-employed or 1099 workers seeking lower monthly costs for health coverage 

• Those comfortable with program rules and eligibility requirements 

• People who understand that health insurance coverage is not guaranteed like insurance, including options for dental insurance.

Healthshare programs: 

• Are not considered health insurance 

• Do not have to adhere to ACA rules 

• Often exclude or limit pre-existing conditions 

• May impose lifestyle or eligibility requirements 

• Share expenses based on program guidelines, not insurance contracts 

Because of this, healthshares are not suitable for everyone, especially those who are self employed and need comprehensive health coverage. Additionally, those seeking dental insurance or who have 1099 income should carefully evaluate their options, as these programs may not provide the predictable coverage they require.
