BOCA RATON, Fla. - Health Insurance Now is encouraging healthy young professionals to purchase health insurance now through private PPO plans rather than wait for the next Marketplace open enrollment period, arguing that healthier applicants often qualify for the private market's lowest available rates.

Because private coverage prices in part on health history, the brokerage says applicants in good health frequently see quotes well below what they would pay for an unsubsidized Marketplace plan - and those rates are available at any point in the year.
"If you're healthy, waiting for open enrollment usually just costs you money," said Matthew Sechter, CEO of Health Insurance Now. "There's no reason to sit uninsured, or overpay on the Marketplace, when a private plan can be in place this week."

As an independent brokerage, Health Insurance Now compares more than 25 carriers to match healthy applicants with private PPO plans offering broad, often nationwide doctor access, without the narrower networks common on many Marketplace HMOs.
The firm notes that private health insurance carries no open enrollment restriction, so professionals between jobs, freshly self-employed, or simply shopping for a better rate can enroll immediately instead of waiting months for a fixed sign-up window.
Health Insurance Now's agents review each applicant's health background and confirm eligibility before finalizing a plan, since underwriting means private coverage isn't guaranteed at the same rate for everyone, particularly those managing ongoing health conditions.
Health Insurance Now says the comparison itself is fast: a phone call typically produces quotes in about five minutes, and applicants who move forward can often be approved and covered within 24 to 48 hours, without the paperwork delays people associate with switching health plans.
"The professionals who benefit most are the ones who act while they still qualify for the best pricing," Sechter said. "Health can change, and rates change with it, so timing matters more than people realize."
The firm says demand is strongest among young professionals in their 20s and 30s who are self-employed or working contract roles without employer benefits, and who want coverage now rather than a plan that starts months from now.
Health Insurance Now adds that a short delay rarely helps a healthy applicant and can sometimes hurt, since pricing is based on current health status at the time of application rather than locked in ahead of time.
The firm says it hears from applicants most often right after they leave a job or age off a parent's plan, moments when coverage decisions tend to get pushed aside in favor of more immediate priorities.
Healthy applicants can call a licensed specialist for a free quote and purchase health insurance now through a private PPO plan built around their budget and network needs.
