Helping people find coverage
One contact
The same person before and after you enroll
Most people in Phoenix who buy their own coverage do it once a year, under time pressure, with vocabulary nobody taught them. A broker does that job every day, with you, at no cost to you.
Who this is for
You are probably in the right place if any of this is true.
- Your coverage does not come from an employer
- You are self-employed, freelancing or on a 1099
- You run a small business in the Phoenix metro
- You are buying for a household and are under 65
- You have been told coverage is unaffordable
- You have a plan but have never had it explained
What a broker does that a website cannot
A public marketplace shows you a filtered list and leaves you to interpret it. That works if you already understand deductibles, networks and out-of-pocket maximums. Most people do not, and a wrong guess shows up when someone gets sick.
An independent broker works the other way. I start from your household, your budget and the doctors you want to keep, then find the options that fit, including ones not listed on the public marketplace at all.
The other difference is what happens after you enroll. A website has no memory of you. When a claim goes sideways or your situation changes, you call me, and I already know your file.
Who I work with across the Phoenix metro
Most of the people I help in Phoenix fall into three groups: self-employed people and freelancers with no employer plan, small business owners covering themselves and their team, and individuals and families under 65 buying their own coverage.
I am based on North 16th Street in Phoenix and work throughout the metro, including Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert and Glendale. Being local matters, because networks are geographic and you want to know your hospital is covered before you enroll.
I am also licensed in more than 31 states, so if you are in Phoenix now but your work moves you, or half your family is out of state, that is a solvable problem rather than a reason to start over with someone new.
What the conversation actually looks like
It starts with a phone call, usually about fifteen minutes. I ask who needs covering, what you spend now, and which doctors and prescriptions you want to keep. The call commits you to nothing.
Then I compare what is available to you and come back with a shortlist and a plain explanation of each trade-off. You decide, I handle the paperwork, and I stay your point of contact.
If it turns out the coverage you already have is the better deal, I will tell you that. A free, no obligation quote only means something if I am willing to hand you an answer that earns me nothing.
How I approach it
What to have in front of you when you call.
- 01
Which doctors you want to keep
Provider networks are the single most common source of nasty surprises. Bring the names, and we check them rather than assume.
- 02
What prescriptions you take
How a plan treats a specific medication can matter more to your annual cost than the headline premium does.
- 03
What you actually spend now
Not just the premium. Premium plus what you pay at the point of care is the number that tells us whether a change is worth making.
- 04
Who is being covered
Just you, you and a partner, a whole family, or you and the people who work for you. Each one changes the shape of the answer.
“A website has no memory of you. When you call me in March about a claim, you reach the person who already knows your file.”

Questions
Answered plainly.
- What does a health insurance broker cost in Phoenix?
- Nothing to you. The quote and the conversation are free, and there is no obligation to enroll in anything I show you.
- What is the difference between a health insurance broker and an agent?
- In everyday use the terms overlap, and plenty of people use them interchangeably. What matters is independence: whether the person can look across many options or is tied to one company. I am independent.
- Do you only work with people in Phoenix?
- No. I am based in Phoenix and work throughout the metro including Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert and Glendale, and I am licensed in more than 31 states.
- I am healthy. Is it worth talking to a broker at all?
- Being healthy is when you have the widest set of options available to you, so it is the best time to look rather than the worst. It also means the conversation is short.
Local matters here
The valley is large, and networks do not cover all of it equally.
Two plans can look identical on paper and behave completely differently depending on which Phoenix hospitals, urgent care and specialists they actually include. Checking takes minutes and prevents the most expensive kind of surprise.
How it goes
Three steps, no pressure at any of them.
Step 1
We talk
Call me, or send the quote form. We go over who needs covering, what you spend now, and which doctors or prescriptions you want to keep.
Step 2
I build your shortlist
I compare what is genuinely available to you, including options that are not listed on public marketplaces, and bring back the ones that fit.
Step 3
You decide, I stay
You pick the plan you understand and want. I handle the enrollment, and I am still the person you call when something changes.
More ways I can help
