ROSEVILLE, ROCKLIN, AND FOLSOM HEALTH INSURANCE REVIEW AND COMPARISON
The area is booming!
Whether you're a newer transplant from the Bay Area or a seasoned local...
We love Roseville, Rocklin, and Folsom!
I've lived my entire life in the area and somehow managed to survive many trips to the river when I was younger.
That being said, a few of trips resulted in use of the family's health insurance.
This brings us to our need here.
What's the best health insurance available in Roseville, Rocklin, and the surroundings areas?
We have a very unique health care market in Sacramento county.
The players are different than in most parts of the State.
You can always run your quote here by market type:
- Individual and family
- Small Business (1-100 employees)
- Large Business (100+ employees)
- Seniors with Medicare
Let's get started.
Everyone's always running somewhere around here...we're busy!
Quick Intro To Roseville, Rocklin, And Folsom Ca Health Insurance
A few quick notes before we get started.
A lay of the land.
Health insurance is regulated at the State level but many of the rules come from the Federal ACA (Affordable Care Act) law which started in 2014.
Health plans in Roseville or Rocklin are no different.
They are shaped by both these effects as well.
It really impacted the individual and family market which we'll discuss below.
The small group market was also changed quite a bit which we'll also cover.
The senior Medicare market was not really impacted by the law and it falls into two categories:
- Medicare supplements
- Medicare Advantage plans
We'll look at both as well.
Some of the effects of the ACA law on Roseville, Rocklin, and Folsom health plans:
- Standardized benefits
- 10 Essential health benefits required
- Tax credits based on income
- Smaller networks (except for Kaiser)
- Penalties for not having health insurance
- Non-subsidized rates increased
These are the big ticket times.
Lots of other changes!
We're happy to walk through any questions at 866- or by email.
As license Roseville, Rocklin, and Folsom health brokers, there's no cost for our assistance...even with Covered California plans.

Kaiser Versus Sutter In Roseville, Rocklin, And Folsom
Roseville, Rocklin and the entire area for that matter are dominated by two provider networks:
- Kaiser
- Sutter Health
They really run the roost.
Kaiser has their fairly new and expansive center on Eureka right in the middle Roseville.
Sutter Health has their sprawling complex off of Douglas in Roseville.
These are two main health care facilities in the area.
For individuals and families, we really have to decide between the two.
Kaiser is an HMO so you have stay within their network.
Sutter has HMO's and PPO's that contract with them but you can't access Kaiser.
Rocklin or Roseville companies may actually be able to offer both to their employees.
This is a very popular strategy and we'll describe it below in the Small Business section.

It's self employment heaven!
Which is one reason it's growing so much.
There are a few ways to save on health insurance if you're self-employed.
- Covered California

Take a look at line 37 on the 1040 tax form!
We can help you with this.
If you qualify for tax credits, it can mean huge savings.
You can run your Covered Ca quote (select “on exchange”) here:
If you don't qualify for a tax credit, many self-employed people look at HSA plans.
Check out the Bronze plan at the quote above with “HDHP” in the title.
Blue Shield and Kaiser both have them!
Finally, if Covered Ca plans are too high, you can look at health sharing.
Health sharing is not health insurance.
You can see the rates and options here.
We can help with any of these options for the self employed in Roseville, Folsom, and Rocklin.
Employer Health Insurance For Roseville, Rocklin, And Folsom Companies
Many employers get frustrated comparing health plans for their employees.
Some employees want Kaiser (a lot usually) while others want to use Sutter Health or even UC Davis.
How do you keep everyone happy?
Simple...the Kaiser Wrap.
Basically, you're able to offer another carriers along with Kaiser to your employees in the greater Sacramento area.
You can even based your company contribution on a given Kaiser plan (or a fixed dollar amount) and allow the employee to pick from a range of plans from EITHER carrier.
We can combine Kaiser with Blue Shield, Anthem, Health Net and more.
Another popular option is CalChoice.
CalChoice essentially took this same approach and put it under one tent!
Sometimes, their Kaiser plans can even be cheaper than Kaiser!
You can quote all these options for your Roseville, Rocklin, and Folsom employees here:
Medicare Options For Roseville, Rocklin, And Folsom Seniors
There are lots of seniors in surrounding areas of Sacramento.
A large over-65 population.
That means Medicare and that means either supplements or Advantage plans.
Supplements work like PPO while Advantage plans are usually HMO plans.
If you want Kaiser, they are all Advantage plans.
Otherwise, we can look at a supplement and have access to lots of providers...
Even out of the area or State (say your in Reno!).
You can quote the Supplements and Advantage plans here:
For supplements, Anthem's Innovative F plans is a great value in Roseville and surrounding areas.
The F plan will be phased out after which, the G plan will become the default popular plan in the area.
