The person who set your plan up answers
Scottsdale has an unusually high concentration of people who do not receive coverage from an employer, and public marketplace forms handle exactly that situation worst. Most of the money people lose here is lost to seeing too narrow a slice of what exists.
Who this is for
This page is for you if any of this sounds familiar.
- You are a consultant, agent, founder or contractor
- One partner covers the whole household
- Your income is variable or seasonal
- You run your own practice or firm
- You concluded coverage was unaffordable
- Your current plan does not include your specialist
Why Scottsdale households end up overpaying
Scottsdale has a lot of people without employer coverage: consultants, agents, founders, contractors and people running their own practice. Public marketplace forms handle those situations worst, because they assume a steady salary.
What happens next is predictable. People take the first affordable plan and find their specialists are not in network, or decide coverage is unaffordable and go without.
The fix is not clever. It is having someone look at the whole picture with you, including options that are not listed on a public marketplace, before you commit to twelve months of something.
Coverage that follows how you actually work
If your income is variable or reported on a 1099, the question is not which plan is cheapest this month. It is which plan you can still comfortably hold in a lean quarter.
Someone who sees a doctor twice a year is solving a different problem from someone managing an ongoing condition. Sold the same plan, one does well and one does badly.
I build the shortlist around your situation, then walk you through where each option's trade-offs land, in plain language, before you sign anything.
Local networks are a Scottsdale-specific question
Provider networks are geographic, and the valley is large. A plan that looks identical on paper can behave very differently depending on which hospitals, urgent care and specialists it actually includes near you, and whether the practice you already use is in or out.
So we check rather than assume. Bring the names of the doctors you want to keep and we verify them against the options, which takes minutes and prevents the most common and most expensive kind of surprise.
I am based in Phoenix, work throughout Scottsdale and the metro, and am licensed in more than 31 states if your household is not all in one place.
How I approach it
The questions worth asking before you sign anything.
- 01
Is my specialist in network
Ask it by name, for every provider you intend to keep. This is the question that most often goes unasked.
- 02
What happens in a bad year
Not the premium, the out-of-pocket maximum. That number is what stands between an unlucky year and a financial emergency.
- 03
How does this handle my prescriptions
Two plans with the same premium can differ enormously here.
- 04
What changes if my income changes
Worth understanding up front if your work is seasonal or variable.
“Sold the same plan, a healthy person and someone managing a condition get completely different outcomes. That is the part a comparison table cannot do for you.”

Questions
Answered plainly.
- Do you meet clients in Scottsdale?
- I am based on North 16th Street in Phoenix and work throughout Scottsdale and the metro. Most of what we need to do is comfortably handled by phone, which is usually faster for everyone.
- Is a broker more expensive than going direct?
- The quote and the conversation are free with no obligation. My involvement is not what makes a plan cost what it costs.
- Can you help if I already have coverage?
- Yes, and this is a common reason people call. If what you have is genuinely the better deal, I will tell you so and you will have lost nothing but a short phone call.
Variable income
A plan that works in a good quarter can fail you in a lean one.
If your income moves, the question is not which plan is cheapest this month. It is which one you will still be comfortable holding when work is quiet, and whether the deductible matches how you actually use care.
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
