The 22-minute method

From "I can't even" to "actually, that one."

We don't show you more options. We show you fewer — the right ones. Built for people who've already tried Healthcare.gov, opened 14 tabs, built a spreadsheet, and bounced.

  1. Minute 0

    Tell us your situation — not your life story

    Two minutes. No SSN. No 30-question quiz. Just the moment that's stuck you: lost a job, new baby, aging off a parent's plan, finally dealing with COBRA. That's enough for us to start narrowing.

  2. Minute 5

    We pull every health plan you qualify for

    Marketplace, off-exchange, short-term — across 50+ carriers in your state. Then we quietly delete the ones with the wrong network, wrong formulary, or wrong math. You never see that pile.

  3. Minute 12

    We hand you three real options

    Not fifty. Three. Side-by-side, in plain English, with the trade-offs spelled out. We tell you what we'd pick and why — and what could go wrong with the other two.

  4. Minute 22

    You pick, or you pause — your call

    Ready? Paperwork done in 48 hours. Need a week to sit with it? Cool. We don't chase you. Either way, your advisor stays your advisor — for renewal, claims, and life curveballs.

Built for four kinds of stuck

Pick the one that sounds like you.

We don't sort people by age or income. We sort them by the moment they're frozen in — because that's what actually decides the right health plan.

You've never bought health coverage on your own — and every site assumes you have.

The problem

Aged off a parent's plan. New to freelancing. Just realized employer-sponsored isn't an option. Every word feels like a final exam you didn't study for.

What we do for you

We start at zero. No jargon, no judgment, no "you should already know this." One advisor walks you through marketplace vs. off-exchange, what a deductible actually does to your monthly cost, and which plan would let you sleep at night.

The four rules we work by

Fewer options, picked with you.

Comparison engines hand you the haystack. We hand you the needle — then sit with you while you decide whether it's the right one.

We delete, you decide

We cut 200 plans down to the 3 that actually fit your doctors, your meds, your budget. You pick from a shortlist, not a search engine.

Permission to pause

"I need to think about it" is a sentence, not an objection. Sit with it for a day or a month. We won't chase you with calls.

One human, every year

The person who helps you pick is the one who answers in March about a claim, or in October when your spouse changes jobs. No queues, no transfers.

Fast once you're sure

When you say go, we move. Paperwork handled for you, coverage active in 48 hours. You don't lose a Saturday to PDFs.

Stories from the formerly stuck

What it sounds like when
the decision finally clicks.

Unedited words from people who'd been stalling on health coverage — sometimes for years — before one Meet Options call.

I'd been putting off picking a health plan for nine months. Nine. The Meet Options call took 22 minutes and I picked one. I cried a little, not gonna lie.

Healthcare.gov made me feel dumb. Meet Options made me feel like a normal person who just needed a hand. Zero condescension.

She asked one question — "what's the version of this that would still let you sleep tonight?" — and the whole choice clicked.

I expected the upsell. It never came. She literally said "you don't need supplemental, you'd be paying for nothing." Sold me on the agency forever.

Came in with seven tabs open and a spreadsheet. He told me to close them all and just talk for ten minutes. Picked a health plan that night.

Step 1 of 5Who you are covering

Who are you searching for?

We'll tailor your options based on who needs coverage.

The things you're actually worried about

The honest questions, honestly answered.

Not "what's a deductible." The real questions — about being stuck, picking wrong, and whether you can pause. Here you go.

Honestly? The vast majority of "wrong" picks are reversible. You can switch during Open Enrollment every year, or sooner if you have a qualifying life event (job change, move, baby, marriage). And before you enroll, we walk you through the realistic worst-case for each option you're considering — so you're not picking blind. "Wrong" usually means "slightly suboptimal for one year." Not catastrophic.

Absolutely not. We're not a high-pressure shop. Lots of people use the first call to just understand their options, then come back a week or month later when they're ready. We'll never call you 14 times. We'll check in once, gently, and otherwise we're here when you want us.

Same way every independent insurance agency does — when you enroll in a plan, the carrier pays us a standardized commission. The commission rate is the same across every major carrier, so we have zero reason to push one plan over another. You pay exactly the same as if you went direct to the carrier. Our service costs you nothing.

Healthcare.gov shows you every plan and expects you to figure it out. We do the opposite — we pull every plan you qualify for, eliminate the ones that don't fit, and present you with three. A real human walks you through the trade-offs. The whole call usually takes 20–30 minutes. Most people who'd bounced from .gov decide in the first call.

Often yes — but you don't have to guess. Before recommending any health plan, we run your doctors, your kids' pediatrician, your specialists, and your preferred hospital against that plan's network. If your people aren't in-network, we flag it before you enroll. No surprise out-of-network bills six months later.

This is one of the most common situations we see. We build a plan around the medications and specialists you already use, run the subsidy math (most early retirees qualify for more help than they realize), and then set you up to transition cleanly to Medicare when you turn 65. No gap, no overlap, no panic.

Yes. Genuinely. Sometimes you're cooked, you've been researching for weeks, and you just want a smart person to look at your situation and say "this one." That's a normal request and we honor it. We'll walk you through why, but if you want the recommendation, you'll get the recommendation.

Usually only with a Special Enrollment Period (SEP), which gets triggered by a qualifying life event — losing a job, getting married or divorced, having a baby, moving, aging off a parent's plan at 26. You get a 60-day window. If none of that applies, short-term and off-exchange plans are available year-round, and we'll walk you through whether one of those is the right bridge.

Probably yes — subsidies stretch way further than people think. A family of four earning up to ~$125,000/year often still qualifies for meaningful help. Freelancers, gig workers, between-jobs folks: especially yes. We calculate your actual subsidy on the call, factoring in projected income, household size, and current rules. Most people leave money on the table because they assumed they didn't qualify.

Under the ACA, no carrier can deny you coverage or charge you more because of a pre-existing condition on a major medical plan. Cancer history, diabetes, heart disease, mental health, autism — none of it disqualifies you. We do factor in your conditions when picking a plan (you want one that covers your specialists and meds well), but you'll never be denied.

First call: 20–30 minutes. Enrollment if you're ready: another 15. Most people go from "I haven't dealt with this in two years" to "I have coverage starting next month" inside 48 hours. The longest part is usually the gap between you booking the call and the call actually happening.
