Health Insurance

Coverage for you & your family

Choosing a health plan on your own is overwhelming: metal tiers, deductibles, networks, and subsidy rules that change every year. May guides individuals, families, and the self-employed through their health insurance options — including ACA marketplace plans and available premium subsidies — so you get the right coverage at the best price you qualify for, at no extra cost for her help.

Finding the right plan, not just the cheapest one

The lowest premium isn't always the lowest cost. A plan's deductible, copays, out-of-pocket maximum, and provider network determine what you'll actually spend in a year. May walks through how you really use healthcare — your doctors, prescriptions, and budget — and matches you to the plan that costs the least in total, not just per month.

Don't leave subsidy money on the table

Many households qualify for premium tax credits that dramatically lower monthly costs — and many people who qualify never claim them. As part of your free consultation, May helps you check your eligibility and apply it correctly, so you're not overpaying for coverage you could get for less.

Enrollment windows matter

Health insurance can generally only be purchased during Open Enrollment (typically November–January) — unless you have a qualifying life event like losing employer coverage, moving, getting married, or having a baby, which opens a Special Enrollment Period. If you've missed the window, May can walk you through the options that are still available and make a plan for the next enrollment.

Health questions, answered

What families ask most about health insurance

No. You pay the same premium whether you enroll on your own or with May's help — agents are compensated by the insurance companies. The difference is you get an expert comparing plans, checking subsidies, and handling the paperwork for you.

Only with a qualifying life event — such as losing job-based coverage, moving to a new area, marriage, divorce, or a new baby — which triggers a 60-day Special Enrollment Period. Reach out and May will tell you honestly what's available for your situation right now.

Self-employed individuals typically buy individual/family plans, often with premium subsidies based on income, and premiums may be tax-deductible. May can compare your marketplace options and coordinate health coverage with your life insurance and retirement picture.
