Compare ACA marketplace and private plans across the Boise / Treasure Valley area — with an Idaho-licensed agent who knows the local carrier networks.
Not a government marketplace. Health Enrollment Center is operated by Sprinter Insurance Agency LLC.
If you live in the Boise / Treasure Valley area — covering Ada and Canyon counties — your health insurance options and pricing are shaped by the carriers and provider networks operating locally. Two plans with the same premium can have very different hospital and specialist networks, which is exactly where a good agent earns their keep.
Boise is a two-system town — St. Luke's and Saint Alphonsus (Trinity Health). St. Luke's also runs its own health plan, so its hospitals and that insurer line up closely; if your doctors are with Saint Alphonsus, confirm the plan reaches them.
Idaho runs its own exchange, Your Health Idaho, and uses an earlier December 15 enrollment deadline — so residents enroll through the state, and the calendar differs from the federal one. Idaho voters approved Medicaid expansion, effective 2020, covering adults up to 138% of the poverty line — so lower-income residents may qualify for no-cost coverage while marketplace premium tax credits apply above that threshold.
We're licensed in Idaho and quote Boise residents every week. We'll compare marketplace plans (with any premium tax credit you qualify for) against private off-marketplace options, check that your doctors and preferred hospitals are in-network, and enroll you over the phone — at no cost.
These systems operate in the area. Which ones a given plan actually contracts with varies by carrier and by plan — we check your specific doctors and hospitals before you enroll.
These companies offer individual and family health plans in Boise. We're an independent agency, not an insurance company, and we don't offer every plan available here. Tell us which doctors and hospitals matter to you and we'll show you what we can quote.

Premiums in the Boise / Treasure Valley area depend on your age, household size and income, and the specific plan. Many residents are found eligible for a premium tax credit that lowers the marketplace price substantially, while households above the income range pay full price. A licensed agent will price your exact ZIP in Ada and Canyon counties in a few minutes.
Carriers active in the Boise area include Select Health, PacificSource Health Plans, Blue Cross of Idaho, Regence BlueShield of Idaho, Mountain Health CO-OP and others, though the exact lineup and networks vary by county. We're an independent agency rather than a single carrier's captive shop, but we don't offer every plan sold here — tell a licensed agent which doctors you need and they'll tell you what we can quote.
The largest systems in the area include St. Luke's Health System and Saint Alphonsus Health System. Whether a specific plan contracts with a specific system varies — the same carrier may include one system on its PPO and exclude it from its HMO — so we check your actual doctors and hospitals against the plan you're considering instead of assuming a network from the carrier's name.
No. We're a licensed insurance agency paid by the carriers, not by you. The premium of any plan is identical whether you enroll through us or directly with the insurer — you just also get an agent who handles renewals and claims questions.
No. Health Enrollment Center is a brand operated by Sprinter Insurance Agency LLC, a private licensed insurance agency. We are not HealthCare.gov, not a state exchange, and not affiliated with any government agency. We help you enroll in marketplace plans when they're the best fit, and we also show private plans the marketplace doesn't carry.
Start with your ZIP. Two quick questions, then a licensed agent brings you the plans you actually qualify for — no cost, no obligation.
