Our Specialized Health Insurance

This guide serves as your primary anchor for the 2026 Open Enrollment season. Explore our specialized services designed for your specific stage of life or business:

Individual & Family Health Insurance

We help you balance monthly premiums against out-of-pocket maximums to ensure your household is protected without overpaying for unused benefits.

Small Business Group Benefits

For Troy employers, we structure competitive benefit packages that attract talent while keeping company expenses predictable and tax-advantaged.

Medicare & Supplemental Coverage

Navigating the transition to Medicare requires a clear understanding of Parts A, B, and D. We simplify the “alphabet soup” of senior coverage.

Short-Term & Gap Coverage

If you are between jobs or missed the enrollment window, we provide decisive solutions to ensure you aren’t left with a dangerous gap in protection.

Do You Qualify for a 2026 Michigan Premium Tax Credit?

Subsidies (APTC) are based on your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) and household size. In the Troy/Oakland County area, many families of four with an income up to $120,000+ may still qualify for significant monthly savings.

  • $0 Premium Plans: Available for many households below 150% of the Federal Poverty Level.

  • Silver Plan “Cost-Sharing”: If you qualify, Silver plans often provide lower deductibles and co-pays that aren’t available at other metal levels.

Your Open Enrollment Prep Checklist

To get a math-based recommendation in one 15-minute session, have the following ready:

  1. List of Current Prescriptions: Including dosage and frequency.

  2. Must-Have Doctors: The names of specialists you cannot lose.

  3. Estimated 2026 Household Income: Your best guess at your “Line 11” (AGI) for the upcoming tax year.

  4. Current Plan Summary: Your “Summary of Benefits and Coverage” (SBC) to see exactly what we need to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions from Troy Residents

Can I get health insurance in Troy if Open Enrollment has ended?

Yes, provided you have a Qualifying Life Event (QLE). Residents moving to Troy, losing a job, or having a baby typically have 60 days from the event to enroll. If you do not have a QLE, we can implement Short-Term “Gap” Insurance to protect your finances until the next Open Enrollment cycle begins.

Subsidies (APTC) are evergreen financial tools. Your eligibility is recalculated whenever your income or household size changes. We provide year-round Subsidy Audits to ensure you are receiving the maximum tax credit allowed by law, which can significantly lower your monthly premium.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” answer, but for most families, the choice is between the flexibility of a PPO (preferred for seeing specialists in Birmingham or Royal Oak) and the cost-savings of an HMO (centered around local systems like Corewell). We run the “out-of-pocket math” on both options to see which serves your specific health history best.
