Questions we hear

Laid off?
Start here.

Roughly 12 in 100 Alpharetta adults of working age carried a self-bought plan and nothing else. Layoffs bring these questions.

“My layoff date is set. When should I apply?”

Start before your last day. Losing job coverage usually gives you 60 days to choose a plan, and applying early can help you avoid a gap between plans.

“Should I take COBRA or a Georgia Access plan?”

Compare both. COBRA keeps your current plan but usually at full cost. A Georgia Access plan may cost less, especially if your income drops this year.

“Is my doctor near Avalon in the plan?”

Each plan has its own list. We look up each of your doctors and the nearest hospital in every plan you're thinking about.

How we help

Independent help
for Alpharetta.

If a new employer has a waiting period before its plan starts, we look at bridge coverage such as COBRA and compare it with a full marketplace plan for those months.

Stock grants and bonuses can arrive in a lump. We ask when they vest and add them to the income estimate, so a surprise at tax time is less likely.

Between jobs, write down the month your old coverage ends and the month your new coverage would begin. That simple timeline keeps a gap from sneaking in while offers and start dates shift.

We are not tied to one insurance company. We set plans side by side, count up premiums and deductibles for the year, and check your doctors in each.

A layoff can come with severance or a stock payout. Those amounts can push a year's income up even while you're out of work. We help you plan the timing question with your tax professional and then pick a plan that fits the result.

What you get

  • COBRA and Georgia Access costs side by side for the full year
  • Your doctors checked in each plan
  • A plan to sign up by December 15, 2026, for coverage that starts January 1, 2027

Straight answers

Alpharetta health insurance questions.

What dates should Alpharetta residents know for 2027?

As of October 19, 2026, under current law, Georgia Access lists open enrollment as running from November 1, 2026, through January 15, 2027. A federal appeal about open enrollment dates is pending (City of Columbus v. Kennedy, 4th Cir. No. 26-1938), with oral argument set for October 30, 2026. Confirm the dates before you enroll. Sign up by December 15, 2026, for coverage that starts January 1.

Does unemployment pay count as income?

Yes. Unemployment benefits are generally taxable and count toward household income for the tax credit. Include your expected amount in your 2027 estimate. For tax questions, talk with a tax professional.

Can I keep my Alpharetta doctors if I switch to a lower-priced plan?

Only if they are in the new plan's network. Lower-priced plans often have smaller networks around north Fulton and Forsyth. We search for each doctor you see before you trade price for access.

I got a job offer that starts in March. Is a plan worth it until then?

Often, yes. A gap of a few months can still bring a large bill if something happens. You can usually cancel a marketplace plan when job coverage begins. We help you line up the end date with the new start date.

My spouse's employer offers family coverage. Can we use Georgia Access instead?

You can buy a Georgia Access plan, but help may be limited. If the spouse's job plan is affordable and meets minimum value, the family may not qualify for a tax credit. We walk through that test with you.
