Private ERISA plans

Private plan options have different work requirements and underwriting rules. Some do not require health questions, while others do. Joseph explains the requirements for the specific plan before you apply.

Leaving a job

After leaving a job, compare COBRA, Marketplace coverage, and any other available private plans. Losing employer coverage may qualify you for a Marketplace Special Enrollment Period and financial assistance. Temporary coverage may also be worth reviewing for a gap. Joseph can help compare costs, provider access, underwriting requirements, and start dates.

Understanding private plan options

  • Private employer- or union-sponsored ERISA plans, offered through FAGE.
  • Some options have no work requirement and may be available to self-employed individuals or people between jobs.
  • Some options are guaranteed issue and do not ask health questions. Other private plans require underwriting.
  • A Marketplace subsidy does not apply. If income may qualify for help, compare Marketplace first.
  • Plan examples on the FAGE website are illustrations. Your available rates depend on the plan, your age, and your location.

Ascension Insurance Advisors is not FAGE, not an employer plan, and not the Marketplace. Availability depends on the plan, the state, and Joe's appointment.
