EXCELLENT Based on 388 reviews Posted on Michelle ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark Savoca with Custom Health Plans did an excellent job helping me with options for a PPO plan that were not available through healthcare.gov and others that were unaffordable otherwise. I travel out of state frequently and a HMO or POS plan was not an option.Posted on J MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark Savoca responded quickly to my request for information on PPO insurance and was very helpful. He answered all my questions and made the process very easy!Posted on nick shinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

If I could give Richard “Ric” Monello more than five stars, I would. My husband and I own an S Corp, and we were facing a specific challenge: with him on Medicare, I needed a high-quality health insurance solution that wasn't tied to the Marketplace. Most importantly, I needed a PPO that gave me the freedom to choose my own doctors. After a lot of diligent research, I found Ric, and I am so glad I did. From our very first conversation, it was clear he is an expert. He immediately understood our unique situation and had a solution ready for me right away. In addition, if you are a freelancer and contractor, Ric is a vital resource! In an era where you’re usually stuck talking to AI bots or listening to endless recordings, Ric is a breath of fresh air. Having a real human being to talk to—someone who provides genuine, dependable customer service—is rare and incredibly valuable. If you are a business owner or anyone tired of the "automated" runaround, do yourself a favor and call Ric. It’s such a relief to know there is someone out there who truly has our back!Posted on C MoyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service!

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)
