Health Insurance in Austin, TX — Solutions for the Tech & Creative Capital

Austin, Texas is a powerhouse of tech innovation, startup ventures, and a vibrant community of creative freelancers, artists, and musicians. However, Travis County's booming economy means many independent contractors, gig workers, and self-employed professionals must secure their own health coverage. Finding a plan that protects your physical health and fits your budget can be complex in a market with constantly shifting networks. Mercy Makarevich, a licensed independent health insurance broker, brings her expertise to Austin, helping self-employed individuals and families find top-tier ACA and private plans.

ACA Marketplace & Startup Health Plans in Austin

If you are launching a startup, working as a freelance software engineer, or performing in Austin's live music scene, the ACA Marketplace (Obamacare) is your primary path to comprehensive coverage. Subsidies can dramatically lower your monthly premium, but choosing the right plan tier (Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum) requires understanding your expected care. Mercy helps you navigate these options, ensuring your plan provides in-network access to leading local networks like Ascension Seton, St. David’s HealthCare, and Baylor Scott & White.

Medicare Guidance for Austin Seniors

Austin is home to a growing senior population that values active lifestyles and quality healthcare. Transitioning to Medicare can be confusing, but Mercy simplifies it by explaining the trade-offs between Medicare Advantage (Part C) and Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans. She verifies that your preferred Austin clinics and specialists are in-network and your prescription medications are covered at the lowest cost.
