ACA Plans in Illinois

Illinois uses HealthCare.gov but is launching its own state-based marketplace, 'Get Covered Illinois,' for plan year 2026.

Most Illinois households earning under 400% of the federal poverty level qualify for premium tax credits — often reducing monthly premiums by 50–90%. We can verify your subsidy eligibility in minutes and quote plans against your specific doctors and prescriptions.

Private Health Insurance in Illinois

For Illinois residents who don't qualify for ACA subsidies — typically higher-income earners and business owners — private (non-marketplace) plans offer year-round enrollment and broader provider networks.

Our brokerage works with all major carriers operating in Illinois, so we can quote both ACA and private plans side-by-side and let the math speak for itself.

Illinois Medicare Options

Illinois residents turning 65 or already on Medicare have hundreds of plan combinations to choose from. We help compare Medicare Supplement (Medigap), Medicare Advantage, and Part D drug plans across Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, and the rest of Illinois.

Illinois Health Insurance FAQs

When can I enroll in health insurance in Illinois?+

Illinois Open Enrollment for ACA marketplace plans runs annually from November 1 through January 15. Outside this window, you'll need a Qualifying Life Event (marriage, birth, job loss, move) to enroll. Private (non-marketplace) plans, Medicare, and short-term plans are available year-round.

How much does health insurance cost in Illinois?+

Premiums in Illinois vary by age, ZIP code, plan tier, and tobacco use. Most households earning under 400% of the federal poverty level qualify for premium tax credits that reduce monthly costs by 50–90%. We'll quote your exact subsidy in minutes — there's no fee to compare.

Do I have to use HealthCare.gov?+

No. As an independent broker we can enroll you directly through HealthCare.gov for subsidy-eligible plans, or quote private off-marketplace plans if you don't qualify for a subsidy. Either way, the price is identical to going direct — carriers pay our commission, never you.

Are you licensed in Illinois?+

Yes. Sentinel Family Insurance is a licensed independent brokerage authorized to sell health, life, Medicare, and annuity products in all 50 states, including Illinois.
