iii. FAQ
Frequently asked.
- How much does individual health insurance cost in Texas?
- Premiums vary by age, ZIP code, plan tier, and tobacco use. In Texas, a healthy 35-year-old non-smoker typically sees Silver-tier premiums between $350–$550/month before subsidies. Many qualifying households pay much less after premium tax credits — sometimes under $100/month. We'll run your specific numbers free.
- What's the difference between HMO, PPO, and EPO plans?
- HMO plans require a primary care doctor and referrals for specialists, with the lowest premiums and tightest networks. PPO plans let you see any in-network provider without referrals (and out-of-network at higher cost). EPO is a hybrid — no referrals needed but no out-of-network coverage. The right choice depends on your providers and how you use care.
- When can I enroll in individual health insurance?
- Open Enrollment runs annually November 1–January 15 in Texas. Outside of that window, you need a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) — losing job-based coverage, marriage, divorce, having a baby, moving, etc. — to enroll in a marketplace plan. Short-term and private plans can be purchased year-round.
- Are pre-existing conditions covered?
- On any ACA-compliant plan: yes, completely, with no exclusions or higher pricing. Short-term plans and certain limited-benefit products do exclude pre-existing conditions, which is why we walk you through the trade-offs before recommending.
