Health, Life & Disability Insurance in Tennessee
Independent, fee-free help choosing health, life, and disability coverage across Tennessee. I work for you—not the insurance company.
Insurance in Tennessee
Tennessee’s mix of healthcare, music, and manufacturing plus a fast-growing Nashville metro means a lot of independent contractors and 1099 professionals buying their own coverage. Provider networks tighten quickly outside the major metros, so where you live inside Tennessee changes which plans actually make sense.
Tennessee relies on the federal HealthCare.gov Marketplace. Carrier competition has improved in recent years, but networks and drug formularies still differ sharply between Nashville, Memphis, and the rural east—another reason to compare carriers side by side rather than default to a familiar name.
Whether you’re in Nashville’s music economy or a small East Tennessee town, we compare drug formularies alongside networks—too many people choose on premium alone and later find their prescription isn’t covered. For 1099 professionals here, we also line up disability coverage that replaces the income no employer is protecting.

Why work with a broker licensed in Tennessee
Insurance is regulated state by state, and an agent can only legally advise and enroll you if they hold a license in the state where you live. That rule protects you—it means the person recommending a plan actually knows Tennessee’s carriers, networks, and marketplace rules rather than guessing from out of state.
Liam is personally licensed in Tennessee, so working with Transparent Benefit Solutions in Tennessee is fully compliant—and because I’m independent, I compare plans across every carrier available to you instead of pushing one company’s products. My help is free; the carriers pay the commission, and your premium is identical either way.

Tennessee insurance questions
No. As an independent broker I’m paid by the insurance carriers, not by you, so my help in Tennessee is free. Your premium is the same whether you enroll with me or on your own—you just get someone in your corner.
Tennessee uses the Federal Marketplace (HealthCare.gov) (HealthCare.gov). I help Tennessee residents enroll through it, confirm subsidy eligibility, and pick a plan whose network actually includes their providers.
Open Enrollment for Tennessee runs November 1 – January 15. Outside that window you can still enroll if you have a qualifying life event—losing job coverage, moving, marriage, or a new baby—and I can confirm whether you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.
Absolutely—that’s a big part of who I work with in Tennessee. I’ll walk you through Marketplace subsidies based on your estimated net income, plus life and disability options that replace the employer benefits you don’t have.
You call me—not a 1-800 menu. As your broker in Tennessee I stay your point of contact after you enroll, so if a claim is denied, a bill looks wrong, or your plan changes at renewal, you have someone who already knows your situation and can help sort it out.
