Independent, fee-free help choosing health, life, and disability coverage across Washington DC. I work for you—not the insurance company.
Insurance in Washington DC
Washington, DC has a dense mix of federal workers, consultants, nonprofit staff, and law and policy professionals, many of whom cycle between employers and need portable coverage. Its compact geography means networks are broad, but pricing and plan design still reward careful comparison.
DC runs its own exchange, DC Health Link, which also administers small-business (SHOP) coverage. Short-term plans are effectively unavailable in the District, so residents shop compliant individual and small-group plans—and DC’s open enrollment often runs later than the federal window.
Because District residents cycle between federal jobs, nonprofits, and consulting so often, portability matters more than almost anything: I help you keep continuous private coverage as you change roles, and line up life and disability protection for consultants who’ve struck out on their own. My help here centers on off-exchange options rather than DC Health Link enrollment.

Good to know
In Washington DC, I focus on private and off-exchange health plans, life, and disability coverage—I don’t enroll clients through the DC Health Link. If a marketplace plan is your best fit, I’ll say so and point you the right way.
Straight talk
Short-term plans are effectively unavailable in the District—residents shop compliant individual and small-group plans instead.

Why work with a broker licensed in Washington DC
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 Washington DC’s carriers, networks, and marketplace rules rather than guessing from out of state.
Liam is personally licensed in Washington DC, so working with Transparent Benefit Solutions in Washington DC 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.

No. As an independent broker I’m paid by the insurance carriers, not by you, so my help in Washington DC is free. Your premium is the same whether you enroll with me or on your own—you just get someone in your corner.
Not in Washington DC. Washington DC uses the State-Based Exchange (DC Health Link), and you can enroll there on your own—but my help in Washington DC focuses on private and off-exchange health plans, plus life and disability coverage. If a marketplace plan is genuinely your best option, I’ll tell you that plainly and point you to the exchange.
Open Enrollment for Washington DC runs November 1 – January 31. 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 Washington DC. I’ll walk you through private and off-exchange health options along with life and disability coverage that replaces the employer benefits you don’t have.
You call me—not a 1-800 menu. As your broker in Washington DC 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.
