Self-employed or retiring before 65?
You might be overpaying for health insurance.

Above the subsidy range, most people pay full price for a plan that doesn't even include their doctors. See what a private plan in your state could cost — explained by a licensed advisor, not a call center.

Who saves the most by comparing

Self-employed & 1099

No employer subsidy, full sticker price.

If you're paying full price on the marketplace, private underwritten plans are often where healthy, higher-income households find meaningful monthly savings.

Retiring before 65

Bridge the gap to Medicare without overpaying.

The years between your last paycheck and Medicare are the most expensive coverage years of most people's lives. Comparing paths matters most right here.

Families who want choice

Broader networks don't have to mean bigger bills.

Keep your pediatrician and specialists, know your costs, and stop paying for a network you can't actually use.

How it works

1

Answer a few simple questions. Your state, your situation, your budget. We never ask about your medical history online.

2

Get an honest read on where you'd save. We place private coverage — and if a subsidized marketplace plan is genuinely your better deal, we'll tell you that and point you to HealthCare.gov.

3

Talk to a licensed advisor — once. One unhurried call to compare real plans, real networks, and real monthly numbers. You decide from there.

We value your privacy

This is the part most quote sites get wrong. Here's exactly what happens to your information.

  • Never sold. Not to other agents, not to lead buyers, not to anyone — ever.
  • One advisor only. It goes to the single licensed advisor matched to your state. Not a call center, not a bidding pool.
  • Opt out anytime. Reply STOP to any text, unsubscribe from any email, or just say the word.
  • No health questions. We never ask about your medical history to show you options.

Read our privacy policy. Consent is not a condition of purchase.

Common questions

Is the coverage check really free?

Yes. The check is free and there is never a fee to work with an advisor — licensed advisors are paid by insurance carriers when a policy is issued, never by you.

Will my information be sold or shared with multiple agents?

No. Unlike big quote sites, your information is never sold or auctioned. It goes to one licensed advisor matched to your state, and no one else.

What if a marketplace plan is my best option?

Then that is exactly what you will be told. We place private coverage, and if a subsidized marketplace plan or guaranteed-issue protection is the better answer for your household, your advisor will say so and point you to HealthCare.gov rather than sell you something that fits us better.

Which states does SmartHealthMatch serve?

Licensed advisors in the SmartHealthMatch network currently serve 31 states, from Florida and Texas to Colorado and Wisconsin. The coverage check accepts every U.S. ZIP code and matches you with an advisor licensed in your state.

Do I have to answer medical questions?

No. The online check never asks about your medical history. If you later choose a plan that requires underwriting, that happens directly and securely with the insurance carrier.

How fast will someone contact me?

During business hours, high-priority checks are often returned within the hour. You choose how you are contacted — call, text, or email first — and you can book a call time yourself right from the results page.
