Health Insurance for Residents of Maryland

Please be sure to review the main Health Insurance tab for more information. Individuals and Families that purchase Individual Health Insurance in Maryland are not required to use the Maryland Health Connection Benefit Exchange as residents of other jurisdictions are, unless they feel that their ‘Tax Household’ income qualifies for a subsidy. You can only process a request for a Subsidy through the Exchange. Please review ‘Tax Household’ income levels that may qualify for a subsidy listed in the chart on the main Health Insurance page. If your income does not qualify for a subsidy there is no need to enroll in a health plan using the Exchange. Those not seeking a Subsidy can simply enroll for coverage off exchange, which many people feel is an easier enrollment process. The plans and benefits offered and the pricing are the same on or off Exchange for those that do not qualify for a Subsidy.

However, if you feel that your income may qualify for a Subsidy we are authorized and credentialed Brokers for the Maryland Health Connection Exchange and can assist you.

Self-Employed individuals may be able to deduct a portion or all the premiums they pay for tax purposes. Therefore we will work with you to be sure you are getting every possible deduction and paying premiums as efficiently as possible.
