Private PPO Health Plan Options (Outside the ACA Marketplace)
If you’re generally healthy and don’t qualify for an ACA subsidy, there may be private, underwritten health plan options worth comparing—often with broad PPO-style access and year-round availability (depending on eligibility).

Who this is for
These options are often a good fit if you:
-
Don’t qualify for (or don’t receive) ACA tax credits
-
Want PPO-style flexibility (no referrals in many PPO designs)
-
Prefer year-round enrollment (not limited to Open Enrollment)
-
Are comfortable answering a short health questionnaire
Not ideal if you:
-
Need guaranteed acceptance
-
Have major ongoing conditions and need ACA protections
-
Want premium tax credits through Healthcare.gov
What “PPO-style” means (plain English)
A PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) generally means a large network of doctors and hospitals and, in many cases, you can see specialists without a referral.
(Exact rules depend on the specific plan design.)
Key differences vs ACA (Healthcare.gov)
These plans are NOT ACA Marketplace plans. Here’s what that can mean:
Potential advantages
-
May cost less for healthy applicants (especially without subsidies)
-
Often broader provider access (plan-dependent)
-
Enrollment may be available year-round
Important tradeoffs
-
Medical underwriting is typical (health questions; approval not guaranteed)
-
Plan terms and exclusions vary by product
-
Not eligible for ACA premium tax credits
How the process works (simple 3 steps)
-
Quick quote & needs review (budget, doctors, prescriptions, usage)
-
Eligibility questions (short medical questionnaire)
-
Enrollment + setup (ID cards, billing, member support)
What you should have ready
-
Your preferred doctors/hospitals (if any)
-
Current prescriptions
-
A rough idea of expected usage (routine vs frequent care)
-
Your ideal budget range
If you want, I’ll compare ACA Marketplace options and private/underwritten PPO-style options side-by-side so you can choose based on total cost + network + risk.
