Our Story

15 Years Helping People Choose Coverage Confidently

We're an independent agency — not tied to any one carrier — so our advisors recommend what actually fits your life, your family, and your business.

Our Story

We started Zero Gap Health because health insurance should never be this hard.

In 2010, our founder watched his sister — a self-employed graphic designer in her early 30s — spend three weeks trying to understand her health insurance options after losing her job. Three weeks. Dozens of confusing websites, conflicting information, and zero guidance from people who actually understood the system.

She eventually gave up and went uninsured for eight months. Four months later, she was in the emergency room with appendicitis. The bill was $34,000.

That's the story that built Zero Gap Health. We created this agency because navigating health insurance is genuinely difficult — and it shouldn't require a law degree to understand your options.

What makes us different

We are 100% independent
Zero Gap Health is not owned by, affiliated with, or financially incentivized by any single carrier. Our agents earn the same commission rate regardless of which plan they recommend.
We are licensed professionals
Every Zero Gap Health advisor is a licensed insurance agent, compliant with state regulations, and carries Errors & Omissions insurance.
We offer a free service
Consultations, plan comparisons, and enrollment cost you absolutely nothing. Carriers compensate us — you pay the same as buying direct, or less.
We stay with you
Most agents disappear after enrollment. Your Zero Gap Health agent stays your resource for claims, annual reviews, life changes, and every question that comes up.
Our Mission

To make quality health coverage accessible, understandable, and affordable for every American — individual, family, or business — through honest, expert guidance and a service that costs you nothing.

Our values

Transparency
We tell you exactly what a plan covers and what it doesn't. No surprises at the worst possible moment.
Independence
We recommend what's best for you, full stop. Our advice is never influenced by carrier incentives or sales targets.
Accessibility
Health insurance shouldn't be a luxury. We work to find affordable coverage for every budget.
Longevity
We're not here to make a sale. We're here to build a relationship that lasts as long as you need us.

Illustrative examples

What checking your eligibility can look like.

"I was earning around $19,500 a year and thought I made too much for Medicaid. Checking my eligibility took just a few minutes and I found out I qualified for a $0 plan."

"I was laid off and worried about losing coverage. Checking helped me see that my new income put me in range for Medicaid, so I applied right away."
Miguel

"I was pregnant and unsure what I qualified for. A counselor explained pregnancy Medicaid in Spanish and walked me through the application."
