Health coverage in Texas, explained clearly.
If you live in Texas and you are buying health coverage on your own — self-employed, between jobs, aged off a parent's plan, or turned down by the numbers on the marketplace — there are more options than the ones you have probably seen.
We work with households in Houston, San Antonio and Dallas, and everywhere between. A licensed advisor reviews what is genuinely available to you in Texas, explains the trade-offs, and tells you when a subsidised marketplace plan or Medicaid is the better deal.

Let's find your coverage
Start with your state.
Secure & private. By submitting you agree to be contacted by one licensed advisor.
Texas is in the West South Central region.
This is contractor and small-business country on a large scale, with a high share of households buying coverage independently. It is also geographically vast, which makes a network that only works locally a genuine limitation.
What none of that tells you is what you can get. Carrier availability, network membership and underwriting all vary inside Texas itself — which is why nothing on this page is a rate, an estimate or an offer of coverage. It is the background to a conversation with someone licensed in your state.
Apply any day
Underwritten plans are not tied to open enrollment, so Texas households can apply in March or September just as easily as December.
Networks that travel
Broad nationwide PPO networks rather than a single-county HMO — useful the moment your care crosses a state line.
Pre-existing conditions covered
Coverage is available, subject to underwriting. Your advisor explains exactly what the carrier will ask before you apply.
One advisor, never a list
Your details go to a single licensed advisor and are never sold to third-party marketing lists.
Mostly people the system quietly left out.
Self-employed and 1099
Contractors, consultants and trades across Houston and San Antonio who have no group plan to fall back on.
Between employers
Anyone in Texas holding a COBRA notice and wondering whether that number is really the only option.
Just above the subsidy line
Households earning slightly too much for meaningful marketplace help, facing the full unsubsidised premium.
Small business owners
Owners in Dallas and elsewhere covering themselves first, and sometimes a handful of staff after that.
Early retirees
People who stopped working before Medicare eligibility and need to bridge several years, not several weeks.
Families adding coverage
Households in Austin adding a spouse or child and finding the family tier costs more than the plan is worth.
Clear Healthcare Choice is an independent insurance brokerage. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicare or Medicaid. If a subsidised marketplace plan or Medicaid is the better fit for your household in Texas, your advisor will tell you so.
