HH-HW-04 // Major Medical & ACA

Individual & Family Healthcare

Navigating individual major medical requires precise tactical execution. Whether capturing federal subsidy credits, securing private non-exchange PPO networks, or structuring tax-deductible health plans for sole proprietors, we engineer comprehensive health coverage tailored to your financial profile.

01

ACA Marketplace & Subsidies

On-Exchange Major Medical

Comprehensive major medical under the Affordable Care Act. We evaluate your projected household Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) to determine your maximum eligible federal Advance Premium Tax Credits (APTCs), reducing monthly premium costs while securing plans with zero pre-existing condition exclusions and 10 Essential Health Benefits.

  • ■ Federal Premium Tax Credit (Subsidy) Optimization
  • ■ Zero Pre-Existing Condition Medical Exclusions
  • ■ Annual Open Enrollment & Qualifying Special Enrollment (SEP)
02

Private & Off-Exchange Plans

Broad PPO Network Freedom

Designed for individuals and families whose household income disqualifies them from federal marketplace subsidies. We deploy private underwritten health plans and non-exchange PPO networks, avoiding restrictive local HMO gatekeepers and specialist referral requirements.

  • ■ Nationwide PPO Doctor & Hospital Access
  • ■ No Specialist Referral Requirements
  • ■ Year-Round Enrollment Capacity
03

Self-Employed & 1099 Plans

Sole Proprietor Health Strategy

Tailored for business founders, independent consultants, and 1099 executives without access to corporate group plans. We structure health plans paired with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to maximize above-the-line self-employed health insurance tax deductions while establishing strict out-of-pocket exposure caps.

  • ■ Self-Employed Health Insurance Tax Deductions (IRC § 162(l))
  • ■ HSA-Qualified High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHP)
  • ■ Custom Out-of-Pocket Risk Mitigation
04

Bridge & Transition Medical

Temporary Gap Indemnification

Immediate, fast-issue health protection for individuals navigating career transitions, young adults turning 26 aging off parental policies, or early retirees bridging the gap until age-65 Medicare eligibility. Provides catastrophic coverage for unexpected surgeries, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations.

  • ■ Next-Day Coverage Binding Capability
  • ■ COBRA Alternative Analysis & Cost Reduction
  • ■ Early Retirement Bridge to Medicare Age 65

*Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans are subject to annual Open Enrollment periods unless eligible for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) due to a Qualifying Life Event (e.g., loss of coverage, marriage, relocation). Advance Premium Tax Credits (subsidies) are determined by household size and projected annual income under federal poverty guidelines.

*Short-term and private underwritten alternative plans are not ACA-compliant major medical insurance and do not meet federal minimum essential coverage requirements. Pre-existing medical conditions are generally excluded under medically underwritten non-ACA plans. Self-employed health premium deductions are subject to individual IRS eligibility under IRC § 162(l); Heritage Hills Insurance Brokerage, LLC does not provide tax advice.
