Who this is for

Real Fort Lauderdale situations we solve every week.

Self-employed in Fort Lauderdale

You need real coverage without a corporate benefits desk. We’ll show you ACA subsidy math you can actually trust and pair it with supplemental products if it saves money.

Just lost job-based coverage

You have 60 days to enroll in a Special Enrollment plan. We help you compare COBRA, ACA with subsidies, and a Short-Term Medical bridge — whichever costs less.

Earn too much for ACA subsidies

If your income disqualifies you from ACA tax credits, unsubsidized premiums can be brutal. Short-Term Medical with guaranteed renewal is often a smarter, more flexible fit.

Local expertise

Retirement income that lasts as long as your Florida sunsets.

Fort Lauderdale is one of the most desirable places in the country to retire — and one of the most important places to plan carefully. Between Broward County housing costs, healthcare expenses, and the temptation to enjoy every waterway and beach the region offers, running out of income is a real risk. Annuities give Fort Lauderdale retirees a guaranteed floor of income so the essentials are always covered — while the rest of your portfolio stays free to grow, travel with you, and support the retirement you actually want.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does health insurance cost in Fort Lauderdale, FL?

Monthly premiums vary widely based on income, age, tobacco use, and household size. Many Fort Lauderdale residents qualify for ACA premium tax credits that reduce their monthly cost to under $50 — sometimes $0. A free quote from ITW shows your actual number in under 24 hours.

When can I enroll in ACA health insurance in Florida?

Open Enrollment for ACA plans typically runs November 1 through January 15 each year. Outside that window, you can still enroll if you experience a qualifying life event — losing job-based coverage, moving to Fort Lauderdale, getting married, or having a baby. Short-Term Medical is available year-round.

What if I lost my job-based health coverage in Fort Lauderdale?

Losing employer coverage triggers a Special Enrollment Period. You typically have 60 days to enroll in an ACA plan, and you may qualify for significant subsidies based on your new income. Short-Term Medical can bridge any gap while you compare options.

How does Short-Term Medical insurance work in Florida?

Short-Term Medical (STM) offers flexible health coverage with guaranteed renewal. If you’re not eligible for ACA, have recently lost your employer-sponsored coverage, or earn too much to qualify for ACA subsidies, STM is a great option for affordable health insurance coverage.

Am I eligible for an ACA subsidy in Fort Lauderdale?

Most Fort Lauderdale households qualify for at least some Advanced Premium Tax Credit based on household income and family size. We run the actual subsidy math with you before you enroll — no marketing estimates.

Can I keep my Fort Lauderdale doctors on an ACA plan?

In many cases, yes. We help you verify each carrier’s Broward County provider network before you enroll so your primary care doctor and specialists stay in-network.
