Why Do So Many Arizonans Need Individual Health Insurance?

Not everyone gets health insurance through an employer. In fact, roughly 1.2 million Arizonans purchase their own coverage through individual health insurance plans. Whether you recently left a job, work part-time, retired early, or simply prefer to choose your own plan, individual health insurance gives you the freedom to select coverage that fits your life, not someone else’s benefits package.

What Are Your Options for Individual Health Insurance in Arizona?

Here’s the frustrating truth: most health insurance plans lump everyone together, regardless of their health status or lifestyle choices.
Meanwhile, you’re probably thinking:

"I barely use my insurance - why am I paying so much?"

"I take care of myself - shouldn't that count for something?"

"There has to be a better way to get coverage that makes financial sense"

"I'm young and healthy - why can't I find affordable options?"

You're absolutely right. There IS a better way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Individual Health Insurance in Arizona

How do you determine if I qualify for healthy person rates?

Can I buy individual health insurance outside of Open Enrollment?

Yes. If you have a qualifying life event (job loss, turning 26, marriage, moving, etc.), you get a 60-day Special Enrollment Period. Private market plans are available year-round with no enrollment window.

Is individual health insurance more expensive than employer coverage?

It depends. Employer plans often appear cheaper because the employer subsidizes 50% to 80% of the premium. However, marketplace subsidies can make individual plans very affordable, sometimes under $50 per month. Private plans for healthy people often beat unsubsidized employer rates.

Do I need individual health insurance if I’m healthy?

One unexpected ER visit averages $2,400 in Arizona. A broken arm can cost $7,500 or more without insurance. Even healthy people benefit from catastrophic protection. Bronze plans and private market options provide affordable coverage for people who rarely use healthcare.

Can I keep my doctor if I switch to an individual plan?

Plans through the United Health Care nationwide PPO network include over 1.3 million physicians and 6,500 hospitals. During your free consultation, we verify that your preferred doctors and facilities are in-network before you enroll.
