Explore your health options

Providing quality health insurance is one of the best ways to invest in your employees — and your business. At Friendly Insurance Brokers, I help Arizona employers build affordable, competitive group health plans that fit their budget and support their team’s well-being.

Don’t Stress — We’ll Build the Right Plan Together

Choosing the right group health insurance plan doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you're offering benefits for the first time or reviewing your current plan, I’ll guide you through your options and make sure your employees — and your business — are fully supported.

Option 1: ACA-Compliant Small Group Plans

If you have at least one full-time employee (besides yourself), you may qualify for ACA-compliant group plans.

These plans meet federal standards, include essential health benefits, and can be structured with flexible employer contribution strategies. I’ll help you compare carriers, networks, and premiums — and make sure your plan fits your team’s needs and your bottom line.

Option 2: Level-Funded or Alternate Employer Plans

Supplemental benefits like dental, vision, accident, and disability coverage can boost employee satisfaction and enhance your overall offering.

  • You don’t need to break the bank — I’ll show you affordable add-on options to build a well-rounded benefits package without overwhelming your budget.

Option 3: Health Reimbursement & Contribution Strategies

If traditional group coverage isn’t the right fit, I’ll help you explore HRAs (Health Reimbursement Arrangements), defined contribution models, or individual coverage HRA (ICHRA) setups. These can be a great alternative for smaller teams or mixed employee types.

How I Help You Simplify Group Insurance

I will help you:

  • Compare plan designs, premiums, and networks. We’ll review multiple carriers and network options side by side to find the best coverage for your team.
  • Understand your employer contribution and compliance requirements. From legal requirements to contribution strategies, I’ll make sure your plan is compliant and sustainable.
  • Support employee onboarding and year-round questions. Your team can count on me to answer coverage questions, support enrollments, and help with renewals — without adding work to your plate.
  • Provide unbiased recommendations tailored to your goals. I’m an independent broker focused on what’s best for your business, not what’s best for a particular carrier.

Support Your Team with Smarter Health Benefits

Let’s build a health insurance solution that makes sense for your team, your goals, and your budget. I’ll walk you through every step — clearly, patiently, and with your success in mind.

Your questions, answered

No question is too small.

Does it cost extra to use an insurance broker like Javier for enrollment?

No. Javier’s help is completely free to you. Plan costs are the same as if you enrolled on your own.

I’m not comfortable with technology — can Javier help me enroll?

Absolutely. Javier can complete your application in person, over the phone, or via a virtual meeting. The initial website form requests a conversation only and does not enroll you or change your coverage.

Can Javier help me choose between COBRA and ACA if I lose my job?

Yes. Javier can help compare COBRA continuation coverage to ACA options and recommend an affordable, comprehensive solution.

Can I meet online or by phone?

Absolutely! I offer virtual meetings or phone calls for your convenience.

Will my preferred doctors and prescriptions be covered?

Javier reviews your doctor and medication lists to help you compare plans. Networks and formularies vary by plan and year. Please discuss these details in your consultation, not in the website contact form.
