From the Research Triangle to Charlotte's growing business scene, North Carolina is full of entrepreneurs and families buying their own health coverage. I help individuals, the self-employed, 1099 contractors, families, and small businesses across North Carolina — from Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greensboro to Durham and Winston-Salem — find private under-65 plans that fit.
North Carolina uses the federal HealthCare.gov marketplace for ACA plans, which are guaranteed-issue and subsidy-eligible if you qualify. But many self-employed North Carolinians who don't qualify for subsidies need an alternative that won't break the budget. Private under-65 plans often offer PPO-style flexibility and year-round enrollment. I compare both and give you the honest read.

Marketplace plans through HealthCare.gov typically stick to the annual open enrollment window, though a qualifying event — a job loss, a move, a new baby — can open a special enrollment period for you. Outside of that, many private under-65 plans are built to be sold year-round, so missing open enrollment usually isn't the dead end people assume.
Yes, the whole state. Whether you're in Charlotte, the Triangle, or out toward the coast or the mountains, I work with people by phone and video, so location has never been the limiting factor.
No, never. Carriers pay me directly when a policy is placed, so working with me doesn't cost you anything beyond the price of the plan itself.
