Local Insurance Help for Canton and Haywood County
Finding the right health insurance shouldn’t require a trip across the mountain. Broad River Insurance brings nearly two decades of Western North Carolina insurance experience to Canton, Clyde, Waynesville, and the rest of Haywood County. Our licensed insurance agents live and work in these mountains, and we understand the coverage questions that matter here (i.e., which plans include Haywood Regional Medical Center in their network, what to do when employer coverage ends, and how to manage prescription costs on a fixed income).
Since 2005, Broad River Insurance has helped thousands of Western North Carolina families compare plans, enroll, and get the most out of their coverage. We have been recognized as a Top 10 Medicare Insurance Agency and a Marketplace Circle of Champions agency, and our services come at no additional cost to you.
Health Insurance Through the ACA Marketplace in Canton
If you’ve lost job-based coverage, work for yourself, or are between jobs, you may qualify for a plan through the Healthcare Marketplace, and depending on your income and household size, premium tax credits may reduce your monthly cost. A qualifying life event, such as losing employer coverage, opens a Special Enrollment Period, which means you don’t have to wait until Open Enrollment to get insured. Our licensed insurance agents will check your eligibility for financial assistance, compare available plans in Haywood County, and walk you through the enrollment paperwork.

Plan availability and provider networks can change every year in Haywood County, so an annual review with a licensed insurance agent helps you avoid surprises at the pharmacy or doctor’s office.
Why Canton Chooses Broad River Insurance
We’re not a call center. When you work with Broad River, you get a named, licensed North Carolina insurance agent who answers the phone, knows the local provider networks, and is still here next year when you have a question. We represent multiple insurance carriers in North Carolina, so we compare plans across companies based on your needs and budget.

Losing employer coverage qualifies you for a Special Enrollment Period, typically giving you 60 days to enroll in a Marketplace plan. In many cases, coverage can start on the first of the following month. Call us as soon as you know your coverage end date.
Network participation varies by plan and can change annually. Our licensed insurance agents check current networks for hospitals and doctors in Haywood County before recommending any plan, so you know whether your providers participate before you enroll.
Our help with quotes, plan comparisons, enrollment, and ongoing service comes at no additional cost to you. Licensed insurance agents may be paid by insurance carriers based on enrollment, and your premium is the same whether you enroll through us or on your own.
ACA Marketplace Open Enrollment runs each fall, but qualifying life events (losing coverage, moving, marriage, a new baby) may open Special Enrollment Periods year-round. Medicare Insurance has its own enrollment windows, including your Initial Enrollment Period around your 65th birthday and the Annual Enrollment Period from October 15 to December 7.
