ACA Plans in Texas

Texas uses the federal HealthCare.gov marketplace. Open Enrollment runs Nov 1 – Jan 15.

Most Texas 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 Texas

For Texas 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 Texas, so we can quote both ACA and private plans side-by-side and let the math speak for itself.

Texas Medicare Options

Texas 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 Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, and the rest of Texas.

Texas Health Insurance FAQs

When can I enroll in health insurance in Texas?+

Texas 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 Texas?+

Premiums in Texas 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 Texas?+

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