About Health Plan Apply
Smarter health plan solutions. Backed by experience.
Health Plan Apply is owned and operated by Memberly, Inc., a national health benefits organization specializing in innovative health plan strategies for employers, sole proprietors, professionals, associations, unions, franchise organizations, and multi-employer groups.

Our mission is simple: give employers access to more health plan options by looking beyond traditional insurance.
Rather than focusing on a single insurance carrier or funding model, we evaluate a broad range of solutions — including Association Health Plans, multi-employer programs, level-funded plans, self-funded strategies, and ACA compliance solutions — to help businesses identify the approach that best fits their needs.

ACA Compliance
Helping employers address compliance
For Applicable Large Employers (ALEs), selecting the right health plan is about more than controlling premiums — it's also about meeting Affordable Care Act requirements. Health Plan Apply offers solutions that can help employers address potential exposure to:
ACA Employer Penalty A
Failure to offer coverage to substantially all full-time employees.
ACA Employer Penalty B
Coverage offered isn't affordable or doesn't meet minimum value.
Our portfolio includes Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC), Minimum Value Plans (MVP), Association Health Plans, level-funded plans, and traditional PPO options designed to support both compliance and affordability.
Working with employers and brokers
Health Plan Apply complements — not replaces — the role of licensed insurance brokers. We regularly work with brokers, consultants, TPAs, carriers, and employer advisors to help identify health plan solutions that may not be available through traditional carrier offerings alone.
Whether you're an employer looking for alternatives or a broker seeking innovative solutions for your clients, Health Plan Apply provides access to a broader range of funding models and plan designs.
More options. Better decisions.
Healthcare is one of the largest expenses facing businesses today. Our goal is to simplify the process by bringing innovative health plan solutions together in one place — making it easier for employers and their advisors to compare funding models, provider networks, and plan designs.
Whether you're a sole proprietor, a growing business, or a large employer, Health Plan Apply can help you explore smarter health plan strategies that go beyond traditional insurance.
