First health insurance — Chicago, IL

Last updated: September 24, 2026

What affects the price

When you call, we look at several things to help pin down your rates. Insurance carriers weigh your current age, your location, and your overall health history. Your choice of deductible is another big factor; picking a higher one often lowers your monthly payment, while a lower deductible keeps your out-of-pocket costs down if you need care. Your specific coverage needs—like how often you visit a doctor or if you need prescription drug help—also shift the final amount. Everyone’s situation is unique, so we help you compare options to find a plan that fits. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Getting your first policy can be confusing, but it essentially means selecting a plan that covers essential health benefits like doctor visits, prescriptions, and emergencies. You will need this when you leave your parents' plan, graduate, or start your first full-time role. Costs are driven by your age and how often you expect to see a doctor.
