Independent Health Insurance for Self-Employed Professionals Who Want Coverage That Actually Fits
I shop multiple carriers so you don't have to — and I'm here year-round when things change.
You work for yourself.
Your insurance should work for you.
Whether you're running a business, working for yourself, or taking care of your family, I help you find coverage that actually fits your life.
You're self-employed, freelance, or running your own business — and figuring out health coverage on your own has felt confusing or overwhelming.
You want real coverage that doesn't leave gaps — not just the cheapest plan, but the right one for your health, your budget, and how you actually live.
You'd rather spend 30 minutes with someone who knows the market than hours comparing plans on your own and still not feeling sure.
If you're looking for group benefits through an employer, I can point you in the right direction — this service is built specifically for independent professionals and small business owners.

Group health plans, ICHRA, and supplemental options that help you offer real benefits to your team without the corporate price tag. Whether you have 2 employees or 50, I'll find a plan that fits your budget and keeps your people covered.

Whether you need coverage for yourself, your family, your business, or a change in circumstances, I help you compare health insurance options from multiple carriers. We'll look at your healthcare needs, preferred doctors, prescriptions, and budget so you can choose coverage with confidence.
Individual & Family Health Insurance
Compare major medical plans, private health insurance options, GigCare coverage, and supplemental benefits for individuals and families. I'll explain how each plan works, what it covers, and what you can expect to pay when you use it.
Self-Employed & Small Business Coverage
Health insurance solutions for freelancers, independent contractors, sole proprietors, and small businesses. Compare individual, group, and GigCare options designed to help business owners and their teams access quality healthcare without sorting through the fine print alone.
Coverage for Life Changes
Turning 26, leaving a job, losing employer coverage, starting college, moving, or considering COBRA? I'll help you understand your enrollment options, deadlines, costs, provider networks, and available coverage before you make a decision.
What Types of Health Insurance Do You Offer?
Hess Insurance Solutions helps individuals, families, self-employed professionals, and small businesses compare major medical health insurance, GigCare plans, private coverage, and supplemental benefits. Available options depend on your location, eligibility, healthcare needs, and budget.
Enrollment Without Second-Guessing
I believe you should be understood before you're advised — and supported after you enroll.
Make the Plan Fit Your Life
I start with your doctors, prescriptions, budget, and coverage needs — then look for options that fit your real situation.
Know What You're Choosing
I explain the details and tradeoffs in plain language, so you understand what matters before you enroll.
Be Understood First
Before I recommend anything, I take time to understand your health needs, your timing, your budget, and what you need your coverage to help with.
Know Who to Call After You Enroll
Questions, claims, plan changes, and coverage reviews do not stop after signup. I'm here year-round when you need help.
Keep Help Within Reach
Whether you're in North Carolina, relocate, or need help for family elsewhere, you can keep working with someone who already understands your situation.
I've Been Where You Are
That's not a tagline. It's why I do this work differently.
Before I became a licensed health insurance broker, I was self-employed and trying to navigate health insurance on my own. I remember feeling overwhelmed by the options and frustrated by how difficult it was to get straightforward answers.
That experience is why I built my practice around independent professionals and small business owners. You deserve someone who will give you straight answers, explain your options clearly, and still be there after you enroll.
I'm licensed in all 50 states and work with multiple carriers. That means I can shop several insurance companies on your behalf instead of offering just one company's plans.
When something changes — a health event, a life change, a carrier update — I'm here year-round. Not just at open enrollment.

Not a person who leaves a lot of reviews, but Kimberly was instrumental and helping me answer all the questions that I needed and becoming my agent. I have a few complex situations that she helped guide me and find the best workaround for my situation. Would highly recommend and she will be my agent as long as she continues this line of business.
