Marc was wonderful to work with! He helped me find a policy that off marketplace, provided the very specific coverage my kids needed.

Mark was extremely helpful in guiding me through my health insurance options as I transitioned from COBRA coverage through my former employer. He took the time to understand my specific needs, thoroughly explained the available options, and patiently answered all of my questions. He also helped arrange short-term emergency coverage to bridge the gap between the end of COBRA and the start of my new private plan, which required underwriting. Mark was knowledgeable, responsive, and made a complicated process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Mark and Custom Health Plans.Posted on Google![]()

Mark S. did a great job. He answered all my questions and he always got back to me promptly. I hate dealing with insurance, but Mark made it understandable and never criticized a dumb question (I'm sure I asked many!), and it was just an easy process to work with Mark. Thank you!Posted on Google![]()

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)
