If you’re looking for a Texas Licensed Health Insurance broker I would certainly recommend him!!!Posted on Google Keith RollerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Ric Monello at Custom Health Plans took the time to understand my needs and remained very responsive, available and helpful throughout the process.Posted on Google 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 Google Spencer LucasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely helpful and easy to reach, which is the opposite of what I expect when dealing with health insurance stuffPosted on Google Shane ClementsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spoke with Ric about my situation and he was very helpful. He didn’t beat around the bush and gave me a honest outlook. That’s rare in my experience but definitely appreciated! If I find myself in this type of situation again, I’ll definitely look to him for guidance on all things health insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I automatically qualify?
Is this the same as Marketplace health insurance?
No. These plans are not related to Marketplace (ACA) insurance at all.
They are separate, non-ACA options with different pricing rules, underwriting, and eligibility. That’s why costs can be much lower.
Can I keep my doctor?
Yes.
These plans use Nationwide PPO networks, including Cigna and Aetna PPO, which are widely accepted across the U.S.
Before enrollment, we can also confirm your specific doctor and hospital to make sure you’re covered.
How long does enrollment take?
Usually less than 10 minutes once you qualify.
After we confirm eligibility, we handle the paperwork and get you enrolled quickly.
What info do you need from me?
- ZIP code
- Business details (if applicable)
- Number of people to cover
- DOB
- Any must-have doctors or medications (optional but helpful)
