Most Americans* must have health insurance or pay a penalty - it's the law. Although the penalty for not having health insurance was eliminated in 2019, the law still stands! And if you live in DC, the penalty is still in effect. If you don't get health insurance through your employer, you can buy it for yourself and/or your family on the individual health insurance market.
If you are self-employed, securing good health insurance for you and/or your family can be a challenge. The non-group / individual health insurance market has been tumultuous. This has translated into less favorable options if you don't work for a company that offers you health insurance and you are not eligible for a subsidy based on income.

The absolute best! I was losing COBRA coverage, which became one of my biggest concerns. Would my family and I be left without a good healthcare plan or one that was unaffordable? Jon spent considerable time with me to understand my needs, sent me charts showing my tailored options, walked through them patiently with me, and answered all of my questions (which were numerous because I don't know this stuff at all). He, with additional help from Barbara at Virginia Medical Plans, was always extremely responsive and friendly.
I felt like a member of my family was helping me. The result? I ended up with a better plan that actually cost me less than I was paying under COBRA! I told Jon -- only half in jest -- that I would use him for everything if he wanted to branch out to other services. And, surprising in this day and age, he didn't even ask for me to post a review. But, I am so grateful that I actually signed up for Yelp! solely for the purpose of writing this. So Jon and team, if you read this, THANK YOU!

For the past five years, Jonathan Katz has been instrumental in navigating me through the Health Insurance Marketplace as I sought a medical plan for my son, whose income precluded paying the onerous fees for an acceptable plan. Jonathan's knowledge, and just as importantly, his empathy has been a godsend. More recently, when it appeared that the Market place was going to curtail its financial support and refer my son to Medicaid, Jonathan's counsel was invaluable. He is a trues asset during these troubling times. If I could give him more than five starts, I wouldn't hesitate. Mike Horn

I cannot rate Jonathan Katz highly enough! He has helped my mother, father, and I all decide on the best health insurance plans for our individual circumstances (including Medicare). He is so courteous and patient in helping to explain all the options and makes great recommendations. I have never felt pressured to choose any specific plan and wholly appreciate his insight and expertise.
He and his group at Virginia Medical Plans are the best! And all of their guidance is totally free so there's truly no reason not to choose your health insurance through them, even if you're choosing a plan from the government Marketplace.

I left my corporate job (and the health insurance that came with it) in late 2017. As my COBRA was getting ready to expire 18 months or so later, I was having some serious anxiety about what I was going to do as a freelancer / small business owner to make sure my health needs would be covered. I had ZERO experience shopping for health insurance and the idea of gaining a competence in the subject matter just stressed me out.
A friend of mine referred me to Jon and his team and it was the best referral I ever got. Especially for Kimberly: she was on top of everything, super responsive to my emails and those of potential insurance providers, she explained the process to me in details and made me feel comfortable, she took care of all the things she could for me so that getting insurance was as easy as possible for me, she reassured me, and she took care of me like one of her tribe. THANK YOU!

Jonathan and his team, especially Laura O'Connor, have been incredibly helpful, kind, and knowledgeable with me -- I could not have figured out the entire Medicare process without their help and patience! What would have been a difficult and confusing process was so much easier and friendly! I could not recommend a better group to help you out! They are awesome!

I've been working with Jonathan Katz for the past 4 years and I trust him as much as I would any member of my own family! He has always helped me to make the right choice when choosing a medical plan that's best for my family. I sincerely could not recommend a better person than Jonathan Katz to help you!

My family and I have been clients of Virginia Medical Plans, and Jonathan Katz, for several years. Over that period of time, we have had more than the usual "life changes, " health issues, and customer service needs, always contacting Jonathan and his team. Jonathan is aware, smart, and accommodating of our circumstances, going beyond the call to give us the very best service.
As confusing and complex as healthcare is, Jonathan and his team are up to it, providing super prompt follow up, along with the details needed to understand the "in and the outs." I can't recommend Jonathan highly enough, both as a fine person, and an excellent agent on our behalf.

I worked directly with Barbara Waldman who works with Jon, and she was fantastic to work with! Timely email responses, great follow-up, and when we spoke on the phone to talk through my different options, she was a wealth of knowledge! We talked through every possible scenario for what I expect to need from my health insurance in the coming year, and she answered all of my questions and then some (brought up points I wouldn't have considered). Can't recommend them highly enough!

I contacted Jonathan after several attempts to analyze available health insurance options on my own. Jonathan responded promptly to my inquiry. He explained my options in easily understandable terms and provided advice that was succinct and reassuringly straightforward. Having previously received a solicitation offering a suspiciously inexpensive "plan" that was, upon further investigation, a scam, it was a delight to find Jonathan, whose desire to be helpful is clearly his primary motivation.

I contacted Jonathan for health insurance recommendations for my adult son after reviewing the consistent five-star ratings he received from other clients. I soon discovered why he was so favorably reviewed. He spent many hours reviewing our specific needs and, in the end, found a plan substantially less expensive and more beneficial than our current plan. If I could give him six stars, I would. I recommend him highly.

Jon Katz has helped me multiple times to buy private health insurance. he goes above and beyond, not only finding great health insurance in the current mess and maze of the ACA, but also by calming nerves, returning calls, and generally giving his clients more peace of mind than a paid therapist! The policies I've bought through Virginia Medical Plans, with Jon's and his colleague Brandon Boushell's's guidance, have saved us thousands and thousands of dollars, as several times we had hospital stays occur after the new policies were in place. I'm in need of a new policy again, and wouldn't go anywhere else except to Jon Katz and Virginia Medical Plans. Thank you, John and Brandon!

Every year, the support from Jon Katz is outstanding. Jon is a tireless, hard-working, knowledgeable, and friendly person who will help you through the process of figuring out your options and getting coverage in place without gaps or problems. I am truly amazed each and every year about how he remembers me and helps me through the process. Jon was recommended to me by another insurance agent when I was changing status to an independent consultant. His service has exceeded my expectations at every turn. Believe me, it is worth a call.

Jon is a great professional and I recommend him for everyone who is searching for insurance. He helped me through the process of applying for the insurance and stayed in touch with me until everything was done. I also had some questions a couple of years later and he was right there to answer and help as much as he could. I appreciate his work very much. If you are unsure about insurance and have lots of questions, talk to Jon and he will explain everything you need to know. Paula D.

Jonathan Katz helps you get health insurance. I don't know what he gets out of it besides the adoration of the people he assists. I'm not paying any extra. Even if he can't hook you up, you'll appreciate Jon's timely responses and personalized attention. I'm sure he can't get insurance for everyone out there but he sure saved my butt. Jon's my health insurance angel.
