Unbiased Guidance: As an independent agent, I'm not tied to any single carrier. I'll compare plans from many of the top insurers so you can make an informed decision — not a pressured one.
Subsidy Assistance: Depending on your household income and size, you may be eligible for premium tax credits that significantly reduce your monthly costs. I'll help you understand what you may qualify for and how to apply it correctly.
Ongoing Support: My help doesn't stop at enrollment. If your life changes — a new job, a move, a growing family — I'm here to help you adjust your coverage when it matters most.

The Metal Tiers ACA Marketplace plans are organized into four "metal" tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Each tier represents a different balance between your monthly premium and your out-of-pocket costs when you need care. Here's a plain-English breakdown:
Bronze: Lowest monthly premium, highest out-of-pocket costs. Best suited for generally healthy individuals who want coverage for major emergencies but don't anticipate frequent medical visits.
Silver: Mid-range premiums and out-of-pocket costs. This is the most common tier — and the only tier where Cost Sharing Reduction (CSR) subsidies apply if you qualify. If you're eligible for financial assistance, a Silver plan is often the most valuable choice.
Gold: Higher monthly premium, lower out-of-pocket costs. A good fit if you use your insurance regularly and want more predictable costs throughout the year.
Platinum: Highest monthly premium, lowest out-of-pocket costs. Best for individuals with significant, ongoing medical needs who want maximum coverage.
Not sure which tier is right for you? That's exactly what I'm here for. I'll help you weigh your monthly budget against your expected healthcare needs to find the plan that delivers the most value for your specific situation.
When Can I Enroll in an ACA Marketplace Plan?
When Can I Enroll in an ACA Marketplace Plan?
Open Enrollment Period (OEP): November 1 – January 15 each year in Florida. This is the primary window when anyone can enroll in or change a Marketplace plan for the upcoming year. Coverage selected by December 15 typically begins January 1.
Special Enrollment Period (SEP): Outside of Open Enrollment, you may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you experience a qualifying life event, including: — Loss of employer or other health coverage — Marriage, divorce, or having a baby — Moving to a new coverage area — Gaining citizenship or lawful presence — Changes in household income that affect your subsidy eligibility You generally have 60 days from the qualifying event to enroll. I can help you determine whether your situation qualifies and walk you through the process quickly.
Medicaid & CHIP: If your income falls below a certain threshold, you may qualify for Florida Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Unlike Marketplace plans, these programs accept applications year-round with no enrollment window.

Supplemental insurance plans can help to fill the gaps left behind by ACA coverage. If you find that it would be financially challenging to cover the high deductible amount in the event of a hospital stay, or treatment for a major illness, we can present you with a range of Supplemental plan options to provide peace of mind.

You will be able to estimate your subsidy eligibility and shop for coverage. If you do not qualify for subsidies, you will pay the full premium cost.
NOTE: If you do not qualify for financial help (subsidies), Short Term Medical may be an option to consider. Short Term Medical plans are not ACA-compliant and you can be denied coverage due to pre-existing health conditions. Learn more about Short Term Medical Insurance →
No individual applying for health coverage through the Marketplace will be discouraged from applying, turned down, or charged a higher premium because of health status, medical history, disability, or genetic information. The Federal Marketplace or any State-Based Exchange do not deny coverage based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, personal appearance, or political affiliation.
