Private PPO Health Insurance
in Florida

Florida leads the country in ACA marketplace sign-ups — but a HealthCare.gov plan isn't the only option, and for a lot of healthy Florida residents, it isn't the best-priced one. Here's how private PPO coverage actually compares to what's available in Florida right now.

What We Actually Sell

Castro Coverage specializes in private PPO health insurance: broad nationwide networks, not a narrow local HMO panel, with rates based on your own health profile rather than a flat community rate. For a healthy applicant, that pricing model — medical underwriting instead of community rating — is often the reason a private plan beats a marketplace plan on price while offering a wider network.

• Nationwide PPO networks built for people who see specialists, travel, or just want more provider choice
• Rates priced on a preferred-health basis — healthy applicants are the ones this pricing model rewards most
• Low-to-$0 deductible structures available on select plans (plan-specific, always confirmed before you enroll)
• Many plans include telehealth access alongside in-person care

Florida's Marketplace Landscape in 2026

Florida uses the federal HealthCare.gov exchange — the state has never built its own marketplace platform. Florida is also one of ten states that has not expanded Medicaid, which means adults without dependent children generally don't qualify for Florida Medicaid no matter how low their income is. That pushes more working-age Floridians toward marketplace or private coverage by default than in states that expanded the program.

Nationally, the enhanced federal marketplace subsidies that had been in place expired at the end of 2025, and Florida — like most states — is seeing 2026 marketplace premiums rise and enrollment soften as a result. That makes an actual side-by-side comparison between marketplace and private pricing more relevant this year, not less.

Why Private PPO Often Fits Better Here

If you're healthy, self-employed, or running a business in Florida, a medically-underwritten private PPO plan is frequently priced better than an equivalent marketplace plan — because community rating on the marketplace charges everyone in your area and age band the same rate regardless of health, while a private plan prices to your actual risk. Neither approach is a scam; they're just different mechanisms, and which one wins depends on your situation. We compare both, starting with private, before ever recommending marketplace.
