The Independent Model

Why work with an independent advisor?

There are three common ways to buy health insurance. Here is how they compare. Going direct can make sense if you already know the exact plan you want.

For Healthy Applicants

If you're healthy, you may be paying more than you need to.

Depending on your health history and eligibility, medically underwritten private PPO plans may offer significantly lower premiums than traditional options, with no referrals needed to see specialists.

Unlike guaranteed-issue plans, medically underwritten policies evaluate your health profile when determining eligibility and rates. If you qualify, you may have access to more competitive pricing and coverage options.

Ayoub was absolutely amazing to work with! He made the entire health insurance process simple, stress-free, and easy to understand. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and patient, taking the time to explain all the options and help find the best coverage at an affordable price. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people and isn’t just trying to make a sale. I highly recommend Ayoub to anyone looking for health insurance!

Ayoub was an absolute pleasure to work with. He saved my family and I $350 a month for our health coverage. Thank you Ayoub for taking time to set us up with a policy that fits for us both medically and financially. 10/10 definitely recommend him!

Fast, Accurate, Personalized. That’s how I would explain the philosophy of Stratton Advisory. If I ever take a new health insurance agent it will be when Ayoub retires. 10/10 would reccommend

FAQ

Questions clients ask us

What kind of health insurance do you offer?

Full comprehensive health coverage: individual, family, private PPO, ACA marketplace and small business group plans. Full comprehensive plans cover doctor visits, specialists, hospital stays, prescriptions and emergencies, with an out-of-pocket maximum that caps your costs in a bad year.

What does an independent health insurance broker do?

An independent broker is licensed to offer plans from multiple insurance companies instead of just one. We compare options across carriers, check that your doctors and prescriptions are covered, explain the trade-offs in plain language, handle the application, and stay available after enrollment for claims questions, network issues and renewals.

Does it cost anything to work with Stratton Advisory Group?

No. Our consultation and ongoing service are free to you. Brokers are paid by the insurance carrier. Premiums are set by the carrier and are generally the same whether you buy through a licensed broker or directly.

What types of coverage can you help with?

Individual and family health insurance, private and medically underwritten plans, ACA marketplace options, small business group benefits, and dental and vision coverage. We compare these side by side so you can see which type fits your health, budget and doctors.

I'm healthy. Can I pay less for health insurance?

Possibly. Depending on your health history and eligibility, medically underwritten private health insurance plans may offer significantly lower premiums than traditional options. Unlike guaranteed-issue plans, underwritten policies evaluate your health profile when determining eligibility and rates, so if you qualify you may have access to more competitive pricing.

Which states are you licensed in?

Ayoub Cherif is licensed in 31 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming. You can verify his license with NPN 22089749 on the Florida DFS, NAIC or NIPR websites.

Can I keep my current doctors?

Often, yes. Networks vary by carrier and plan, so we check your doctors, hospitals and prescriptions against each plan's directory before recommending anything. If a doctor isn't in a network, we tell you upfront and show you the alternatives.

Do I have to wait for open enrollment?

Not always. ACA marketplace plans follow open enrollment (on HealthCare.gov, November 1 to January 15 for 2027 coverage) unless you qualify for a special enrollment period. Some private plans and small business plans can start during the year. We'll tell you which options are open to you right now.

How long does the process take?

It depends on your situation. Once we have your household details, doctors and budget, we prepare a side-by-side comparison and review it with you. Small business groups usually take longer because carriers need an employee census, and timing varies by carrier and group size.
