Before subsidies, the average benchmark silver plan for a 40-year-old in Colorado costs $615 a month for 2027 (the national average is $704). Premium tax credits bring that down for many households, depending on income and family size.
Brokers in the Delta area can quote individual, family and self-employed coverage from multiple carriers licensed in Colorado. Their commission is built into the premium, so using one doesn't raise your price. Here are 6 brokerages within reach of Delta.

Call 866-645-8540Broker or agent: what's the difference?
A captive agent sells one company's plans. An independent agent or broker is appointed with several insurers and can compare them. In everyday use the words overlap, so ask any office which carriers it can quote in Colorado.
What a broker can compare for you
Premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums; which doctors and hospitals are in each network; whether your prescriptions are covered; and whether you qualify for a premium tax credit.
Do brokers cost more?
No. Health insurers pay brokers a commission that's already part of the premium. You pay the same price for a plan whether you buy it yourself or through a broker.
Carriers a Delta broker can quote
For 2027, marketplace plans in Colorado come from 6 insurers: Anthem (HMO Colorado), Denver Health Medical Plan, Kaiser Permanente, Rocky Mountain Health Plans (UnitedHealthcare), SelectHealth and Colorado Access. Not every insurer sells in every county. An independent broker appointed with several of them can compare prices and networks side by side.
A quick checklist
- Make a list of your doctors, hospitals and prescriptions before you call anyone.
- Have a realistic estimate of next year's household income; subsidies are based on it.
- Ask each agent which carriers they can quote in your county.
- Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
