Are you self-employed? Looking for health insurance? You can use the Individual Health Insurance Marketplace to enroll in flexible, high-quality health insurance that works best for those who run their own business.

To enroll through the Marketplace you must to be a freelancer, consultant, independent contractor, or other self-employed worker who does not have any employees.

You’re considered self-employed if you have a business that takes in income but does not have employees. If your business has even one employee, other than yourself then you are considered a small business and may be able to use the SHOP Marketplace for small business to get coverage for yourself and your employees.

Coverage options

Note: All coverage options qualifications are based on your income and household size.

• Marketplace: You may qualify for premium tax credits and other savings on a health insurance plan.
• Medicaid: This program provides coverage to millions of Americans with limited incomes or disabilities. You may qualify for free or low-cost coverage.
• Children’s Health Insurance Program: CHIP provides coverage to children and in some states pregnant women. This is for families with too high of an income for Medicaid but too low to afford for a private insurance.

There are four insurance plans you can choose from for coverage, they are presented in “metal” categories: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Starting with plans with low premiums that mainly protect you in worst-case scenarios, to plans where you will pay more each month but less out-of-pocket when you get health care services.

Income and Marketplace savings

For your application, you will have to estimate your net self-employment income. Marketplace savings are based strictly on your estimated net income for the year you are trying to get coverage for, not your income from the previous year.
