Shopping for Health Insurance
on Your Own Is
Complicated.
It Doesn't Have to Be.
If you're buying health insurance outside of a job in Texas, you already know how confusing it can get. Too many options, too much jargon, and most websites just want to collect your info and sell it to five different agents. That's not what we do.
We're an independent Texas agency. We sit down with you — figuratively or literally — figure out your situation, and find you a plan that actually makes sense. Private PPO, short-term, health sharing — whatever fits your life and your budget. We compare across carriers and explain every option until you understand exactly what you're buying.
We've helped freelancers, contractors, early retirees, people leaving jobs, families, and business owners all across Texas find real coverage at fair prices. If you're buying on your own, this is the call to make.
Book a ConsultationWho Needs Personal Health
Insurance in Texas?
Personal health insurance is for anyone buying coverage on their own — not through an employer group plan. In Texas, that covers a lot of ground.
Freelancers & 1099 Workers
Self-employed, contract, or gig work with no employer benefits. Your premiums may also be 100% tax-deductible as a business expense.
Small Business Owners
You run the business but don't offer yourself a group plan. Individual private coverage is often the smarter, more cost-effective move.
Between Jobs
Left an employer, turned down COBRA because it was too expensive. You need real coverage fast — without overpaying while you figure things out.
Just Turned 26
Aging off your parents' plan. Now's the time to get your own coverage before you have a gap — and private plans are often more affordable than people expect.
Early Retirees
Retired before 65 and not yet on Medicare. Private health insurance is your bridge — and there are strong options that won't drain your savings.
Anyone Tired of Overpaying
On a plan you don't love with a network that feels limiting? There may be a better option. We look at everything available to you.
Types of Personal Health Insurance
Plans Available
in Texas
Private PPO Plans
Private PPO plans are individual health insurance policies purchased directly from an insurance carrier — outside of any employer group plan. They typically include access to large nationwide PPO networks, meaning you can see most doctors and specialists without referrals, and your coverage travels with you anywhere in the country. Private PPO plans are available year-round with no enrollment windows. Depending on your health history and situation, the right type of private plan varies — which is the conversation we have with every client before recommending anything.
Short-Term Health Insurance
Short-term plans are built for gaps — between jobs, during a waiting period, or as a lower-cost bridge while you figure out your long-term plan. Premiums are low, approval is fast, and coverage can start in days. The trade-off is real: benefits are more limited, pre-existing conditions may be excluded, and these plans aren't intended as a permanent solution. In Texas, terms run from one month up to twelve. Best used strategically — not as a substitute for real coverage.
Health Sharing Plans
Health sharing plans are membership-based programs — not insurance — where members contribute monthly and share each other's medical costs. Faith-based and non-faith options both exist in Texas. Monthly contributions are typically much lower than traditional premiums, which makes them appealing for healthy individuals focused on keeping costs down while still protecting against a major medical event. Important to understand: these plans are not subject to insurance regulations, claims can be disputed without the same legal protections, and pre-existing conditions may not be covered. Best for healthy people who understand and accept those trade-offs.
