Aging off your parent's plan at 26? Just graduated? Your first job has no benefits? We'll find you health, dental, or vision coverage in minutes — many students qualify for $0/month plans.

From $0/mo with subsidy
🩺
Individual Health
Real ACA health insurance for students and new grads. Annual physicals, mental health, telehealth, prescriptions — the whole thing. Most students qualify for subsidies that make it shockingly affordable.
Most student health plans skip dental. We'll bolt it on for the price of a coffee subscription. Two free cleanings a year, plus help with the wisdom-teeth situation.
If you stare at a laptop all day (you do), this is a no-brainer. Annual exam, allowance for new frames or contacts, blue-light lenses — usually pays for itself in one visit.
Wherever you are in the transition out of school, we have a plan that fits.
🎒
Current college student
Already off your parent's plan, or about to be? Most colleges no longer require their own student health plan — and ours is usually cheaper with better mental health coverage.
🎂
Aging out at 26
The day you turn 26 you lose your parent's plan — but you get a 60-day window to enroll, no Open Enrollment required. We'll get you set up before the gap.
🎓
Recent grad, job hunting
Between graduation and your first benefits-eligible job, you're on your own. Subsidies are based on YOUR income now (not your parents'), so plans are often free.
🌍
Gap year or between things
Taking a year off, freelancing, traveling, figuring it out? You still need coverage — we'll find you a flexible plan that fits the in-between season.

Stories from actual students, new grads, and young adults we've helped this year.
🎓
“I turned 26 and panicked. My agent found me a Silver plan that costs $42/month after subsidy — way less than COBRA. Mental health is fully covered too, which was the whole reason I needed coverage.”
🎒
“Honestly didn't know subsidies existed for students. I was about to skip insurance entirely. Now I pay $0/month and have actual dental coverage for the first time in years.”
🌍
“Quit my job to take a gap year and travel. They set me up with a flexible plan in a single call. No judgment, no pressure. Best 15 minutes I've ever spent on email.”
💼
“My first job is at a startup with zero benefits. They walked me through what my income meant for subsidies and got me into a plan with my therapist in-network. Lifesaver.”
🦷
“I just needed dental — my wisdom teeth situation was getting serious. $19/month and I had my extraction covered in 6 weeks. Easiest thing I've ever bought online.”
👓
“I'm a contact lens person and was paying full price for everything. Vision plan paid for itself in one visit. Plus I got new frames I actually like. Wild that this isn't more popular.”

❓ Common questions
The questions every first-timer asks.
Honest answers. No jargon. No upsell.
Yes — by federal law, you can stay on a parent's health plan until you turn 26, even if you're married, financially independent, not in school, or living elsewhere. Some students still leave the parent plan early because a personal ACA plan (with subsidies based on YOUR income) ends up cheaper or has better mental health coverage. We can compare both for free.
You lose your parent's plan, but turning 26 triggers a Special Enrollment Period: a 60-day window to enroll in a new plan outside of Open Enrollment. You don't have to wait until November. Tell us your situation and we'll get you covered by the 1st of next month.
Almost always, yes. ACA premium tax credits are based on YOUR projected income — not your parents'. If you're earning under ~$30,000/year (very common for students and new grads), you usually qualify for plans between $0 and $50/month. The subsidy is automatic once you enroll through the marketplace.
That's incredibly common at startups, contract roles, and entry-level positions. You're eligible for an ACA marketplace plan, and your modest first-job income usually means significant subsidies. We'll calculate your exact pricing in about 2 minutes.
Yes. Every ACA-compliant plan we recommend covers mental health and substance use treatment as one of the ten Essential Health Benefits — this includes therapy sessions, psychiatry, and prescription medications. We can also check which therapists are in-network before you enroll.
Health plans are state-based, so a move usually means switching plans — but the move itself triggers a Special Enrollment Period. Tell your agent your timing and new ZIP and we'll line up coverage that starts the day you arrive.
Honest answer: vision pays for itself the first time you replace glasses or contacts (so yes, if you wear them). Dental is worth it if you're due for cleanings or expecting wisdom teeth — one extraction without insurance is more than a year of premiums. Both are optional add-ons; we'll show you the math.
About 2 minutes to fill out our form, one short call (or text thread) with a licensed agent, and you're usually enrolled within 24–48 hours. Coverage typically starts the 1st of the following month.
Yes — completely. We're paid by the insurance carriers when you enroll, at the same rate no matter which plan you pick. You pay exactly the same as if you bought direct from the carrier, but you get a human agent for life.
