Who is eHealth?
For nearly 30 years, eHealth has helped millions of Americans find health insurance that fits their needs and their budget.
We know this process isn’t simple. Plans vary. Costs aren’t always clear. And figuring out what’s actually covered, or what happens after you enroll, can feel overwhelming.
That’s where eHealth can help.
eHealth is a licensed, independent insurance agency dedicated to helping you find the right coverage for you. We work with more than 180 national and regional insurance companies, so you can compare a wide range of plans in one place — online or with the help of an advisor — who is a licensed insurance agent.
But what sets eHealth apart isn’t just access to options. It’s how we use data and technology to help you make sense of your options, and the on-going support we provide after you choose.
You’re not on your own to figure things out. You have someone you can talk to. Someone who understands your situation and is there to help when questions come up, not just when you’re enrolling.
There’s no cost to use eHealth, and no obligation to enroll. Just a more transparent way to choose and manage your coverage, with support along the way.

Your Individual, Family, and Small Business Plan Finder
With Individual and Family Plans (IFP), you have the option to select the coverage, premium and deductible levels that best fit your needs and budget. These plans provide flexibility, allowing you to select coverage that suits you and your family. Plans may include a wide range of benefits, such as hospitalization, doctor visits, preventive care, and prescription drug coverage.
Small and Medium-sized Business Plans (SMB) are designed to provide healthcare coverage for smaller businesses. These plans offer the advantage of group coverage, potentially resulting in cost savings on premiums and administrative expenses. Many SMB plans include an employer contribution toward employees’ premiums, making healthcare coverage more accessible. The range of coverage options allows businesses to choose plans that align with their employees’ healthcare needs, and some plans may even offer health and wellness programs to promote a healthy workforce.
