Top Carriers We Work With
What Does a Texas Health Insurance Broker Actually Do?
That usually means:
1️⃣ We compare plans
from top-tier carriers in one conversation: Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Aetna. One call instead of five.
2️⃣ We work for you
not for any single carrier You pay the same premium whether you go through us or buy direct. The carrier pays our commission. You get a licensed independent expert in your corner for free.
3️⃣ We match the plan to your budget
Before you enroll, we confirm your current doctors are in-network and your medications are on the formulary. We model your real out-of-pocket cost (premium plus deductible plus copays) instead of just the sticker price.
4️⃣ We help year-round, not just at Open Enrollment
Need to add a baby? Switch jobs? Hit a Qualifying Life Event? Compare next year’s renewal? You call us, not a 1-800 line.
5️⃣ We handle the paperwork and underwriting
Application forms, underwriting questions, document uploads. We walk through it with you in one phone call.
Every program is different. What you qualify for depends on your business setup, ZIP code, and other details.
Check your eligibility for health insurance plans
Independent Broker vs Captive Agent vs Navigator - Which One Do You Actually Need?
That usually means:
1️⃣ Independent Broker (what we are)
Appointed with multiple carriers. Can quote Cigna, Humana, UHC, BCBS, Aetna, plus association plans, short-term plans, and supplemental coverage side by side. Paid by the carrier you choose. Works for you year-round.
2️⃣ Captive Agent
Works for one specific insurance company. Can only sell that company’s plans. If a different carrier fits you better, they cannot offer it.
3️⃣ Marketplace Navigator
Government-funded helper who guides you through ACA Marketplace enrollment only. Cannot quote private PPO plans, short-term plans, association plans, or any non-ACA option. No follow-up service after enrollment.
Every program is different. What you qualify for depends on your business setup, ZIP code, and other details.
Why Texans Choose a Broker Over Going It Alone
That usually means:
1️⃣ More plan choices than ACA-only shopping
ACA-only shopping limits you to qualified health plans in the four metal tiers (bronze, silver, gold, platinum). We offer private PPO plans, association health plans, short-term plans, and supplemental options that may better fit your budget.
2️⃣ Plans matched to your real life, not a one-size-fits-all subsidy quiz
We ask about your doctors, your prescriptions, and your budget. Then we narrow the list to 3 plans that actually fit. If you qualify for a premium tax credit, we calculate that into the comparison.
3️⃣ Honest cost comparisons (not just the lowest premium)
A $200/month plan with a $9,000 deductible can cost more than a $400/month plan with a $2,500 deductible. We model your real out-of-pocket maximum based on how often you actually use care.
4️⃣ A real person to call when something goes wrong
Claim denied? Prescription not covered? Provider out of network? You call your broker. We untangle it with the carrier.
What you qualify for depends on your ZIP code, household income, employment status, and a few other details. A 5-minute conversation tells you exactly which lanes are open.

Mark was highly responsive, answered all of my questions and made the process smooth and painless.Posted on Kristin SchmidtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark was very informative and helpful. I achieved more in 15 minutes speaking with him than I had in the past month doing my own research and consulting with another broker.Posted on Jessica VazquezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark has helped my family and I purchase a health insurance for a couple of years now and he’s always been a pleasure to work with. He’s very knowledgeable and reachable which is why I keep coming back for his services. Totally recommend him.Posted on Claudia ClancyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Mark Savoca. I was overwhelmed and anxious about finding health insurance for my family. I knew I didn't want COBRA, but I wasn't sure what my options were. What impressed me immediately was how quickly Mark responded after I emailed him. From that first contact and throughout the entire process, he was always responsive, patient, and willing to answer my questions. Being able to speak with someone (not AI or a robot) knowledgeable and trustworthy brought me tremendous peace of mind and significantly reduced my stress and anxiety. His professionalism and genuine care made all the difference. If you need help navigating health insurance, I highly recommend Mark!!Posted on Alex M.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed to find a longer short-term health insurance in Texas quickly for my wife and me, and the owner Ric Monello was excellent in finding a solution. Looking for short-term insurance yourself — at least in my experience — with health insurance being a moving target and lots of fine print, can be a frustrating experience. Ric was able to find a plan that worked for my wife and me. Before and after buying the insurance, I had questions, and Ric was very knowledgeable and answered them quickly. The new insurance will help us save a lot of money going forward. I highly recommend him — Ric is very knowledgeable, has great solutions, and provides great customer service.Posted on Kathy JensenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

He was not only extremely knowledgeable about the health insurance landscape, but also patient, clear, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. Navigating health plans for a family can be overwhelming, but Mark broke everything down in a way that was easy to understand and tailored the options to our specific needs. His professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We feel so much more confident and secure now, thanks to his guidance.
