Earn too much for a subsidy, or work a high-paying job with no employer plan? We compare private PPO plans for professionals and families against your doctors and prescriptions. Between jobs? Compare your options in health insurance after COBRA. Need dental or vision too? We quote stand-alone and add-on plans. Is it worth it?

On COBRA?

Is your COBRA bill higher than it should be?

On COBRA you pay the whole premium, including the part your employer used to cover, plus up to 2%. A lot of people are paying far more than they need to. We compare your COBRA bill against Marketplace and private PPO plans, and we time the switch so there's no gap. And if COBRA is the better deal for you, we'll say so.

How we work

An advisor who shops the whole market, not a single-carrier salesman

Because Slagle Health is independent, we compare private plans and Marketplace options across the major carriers available in your state, then match you to the one that actually fits. No favorites, no quotas. One client favorite: a $0-deductible PPO on a nationwide network.

  • $0 deductible, no spend-down before benefits begin
  • PPO network, keep flexibility in who you see
  • Plans for individuals, families, and small groups
  • Telehealth included, virtual doctor visits from home
Need a Marketplace plan? No problem. We work with a dedicated Marketplace partner and hand you off directly, so you're never left to figure it out alone.

Featured private plans are medically underwritten non-ACA major medical, eligibility and rates depend on your health history, and major pre-existing conditions generally aren't covered. They don't include every Essential Health Benefit: substance use disorder treatment isn't covered, and benefits like maternity and mental health vary by plan. These plans aren't a substitute for ACA Marketplace coverage; ask us about Marketplace options if you need guaranteed-issue or comprehensive coverage.

For small business

Coverage that helps you keep good people

Offering health benefits shouldn't take enterprise paperwork, or enterprise pricing. We help small business owners weigh group plans against individual coverage and find what actually fits a lean team and budget.

Group & individual options

Compare small-group plans against individual coverage side by side, so you can see which route actually costs your business less.

Built for owners & 1099s

Self-employed, an LLC of one, or a mix of W-2 staff and contractors? There are plans built for how a small operation actually works.

Attract & keep talent

Benefits are one of the top reasons employees stay. Offer coverage that competes for good people without blowing up your budget.

Talk through your team's options
For grad, professional & college students

Real coverage when you age off the family plan

Turning 26, starting a master's, med or vet school, or living on a stipend that doesn't include health benefits? We help students find affordable coverage that actually works, not just the bare minimum.

Aging off a parent's plan

Coverage ending at 26, or after you graduate? We line up your options ahead of time so there's no gap in between.

Built for a student budget

Plans that balance monthly cost against the coverage you actually need at this stage of life, no paying for extras you won't use.

Telehealth & everyday care

Virtual doctor visits from home, plus coverage for the routine checkups and prescriptions that come up day to day.

FAQ

Health insurance questions, answered

Straight answers to what people ask us most.

What happens to my health insurance when I turn 26?

When you turn 26, you typically age off a parent's plan and need your own coverage. Aging off usually opens a 60-day Special Enrollment Period, so you can sign up outside the normal open-enrollment window. Your main options are an ACA Marketplace plan or a private plan, and we compare both so you don't end up with a gap.

Can I get health insurance if I'm self-employed or a 1099 contractor?

Yes. If you're self-employed, a freelancer, or a 1099 contractor, you can buy individual coverage, either an ACA Marketplace plan (which may include income-based subsidies) or a private plan. As an independent agency, we compare both routes to match your income and your health needs.

How much does health insurance cost for a small business?

It depends on your team's size, ages, location, and the plan you choose. In most group plans, the makeup of your team drives the price, so one older employee can push up the total cost for the whole group, and with some plan types the group's overall health matters too. That's why we don't quote a single carrier. We shop group plans and individual coverage side by side so you see real numbers before committing.

What's the difference between a PPO and an ACA Marketplace plan?

A PPO describes the network: it gives you flexibility to see specialists and out-of-network doctors. “ACA Marketplace” describes a plan that meets Affordable Care Act rules, covering all Essential Health Benefits and never denying you for health history. Some private PPO plans are medically underwritten and aren't ACA-qualified. We walk you through the trade-offs so you can choose with confidence.

How does coverage work if my income isn't steady month to month?

It's common for the self-employed, contractors, and commission-based workers like real estate agents. We look at your expected income for the year and your household size to see what Marketplace premium help you may qualify for, and compare that against private plan pricing so you're not guessing. See how to estimate your income.

Do graduate students need their own health insurance?

Often, yes. Many universities require students to carry some form of health coverage, and they enroll you in the school plan automatically unless you waive it with proof of other insurance. The school plan can be expensive and may have a limited network, which matters if you live, train, or see doctors away from campus. An outside plan can cost less and include the doctors you actually use. We help you compare your options and check that a plan meets your school's waiver requirements before you decide.

What states does Slagle Health serve?

We're licensed in 30 states nationwide and help clients in each compare private and Marketplace coverage. We also work with families and businesses locally across South Florida, including Weston and Pembroke Pines. Not sure if we cover your state? Just ask.
