The Problem

Unsubsidized coverage got expensive. Your options didn't disappear.

If you don't get insurance through a job and don't qualify for income-based savings, Marketplace quotes can be a shock. Many people stop there — and go uninsured.

Private and off-Marketplace plans exist for exactly this gap: coverage designed for the self-employed, independent contractors, early retirees, and families who earn too much for subsidies but can't justify four figures a month.

Sticker shock is real

$1,000+

Monthly premiums quoted to many unsubsidized individuals and families on Marketplace plans — before deductibles.

Understand Your Options

Different situations call for different coverage. Compare across plan types and choose based on how you actually use care — not just the first quote you saw.

Individual & Family Plans

One policy covering you — or your whole household — with shared deductibles and coordinated benefits.

Best for: Individuals and families who want predictable, all-in-one coverage.
Compare individual & family plans →

Self-Employed Coverage

Flexible options for freelancers, contractors, and business owners who don't have an employer plan to fall back on.

Best for: 1099 workers and solo business owners buying their own coverage.
Compare self-employed plans →

Private & Off-Marketplace Plans

Plans purchased outside the federal Marketplace — often available year-round, with different networks and pricing.

Best for: People who don't qualify for subsidies or need to enroll outside Open Enrollment.
Compare private plans →

PPO Plans

Broader networks and the flexibility to see specialists without referrals, in or out of network.

Best for: People who want more choice in doctors and fewer restrictions on care.
Compare PPO plans →

Short-Term Coverage

Temporary protection while you're between jobs, waiting for other coverage to start, or bridging a gap.

Best for: Coverage gaps measured in months, not years.
Compare short-term plans →

ACA Marketplace Plans

Standardized plans with essential health benefits — and income-based savings if your household qualifies.

Best for: Households that qualify for subsidies or need guaranteed-issue coverage.
Compare ACA plans →

Availability varies by location and eligibility. Not all plan types are available in all areas. Covaria is not the Health Insurance Marketplace.

Common Questions

Straight answers before you type a thing — no runaround, no fine-print surprises.

Short answer: often, yes. Marketplace plans follow annual Open Enrollment unless a life event (losing coverage, moving, marriage, new baby) qualifies you for a Special Enrollment Period. Many private and short-term plans, however, allow enrollment year-round. A licensed agent can tell you which paths are open based on your situation.

Not necessarily. Unsubsidized Marketplace quotes are often the most expensive path for people without employer coverage. Depending on your state, health history, and household, private plans, PPO options, or different plan structures may cost meaningfully less. The only way to know is to compare — which costs nothing.

ACA Marketplace plans follow federal rules, include essential health benefits, and offer income-based savings to households that qualify. Private (off-Marketplace) plans can have different enrollment windows, networks, benefits, and pricing — and often appeal to people who don't qualify for subsidies. Always compare benefits, exclusions, and networks side by side before choosing.

Savings are generally tied to household income, size, and location. Many people qualify for some assistance — and many people earn too much for it. If you're in the second group, that's exactly when comparing private options matters most.

No. Comparing plans through Covaria is free, and there's no obligation to enroll in anything. You'll speak with a licensed insurance agent who can answer questions and walk you through options — the decision is always yours.
