Need Help with Insurance Coverage?
The ability to get access to and afford healthcare is essential to staying healthy. Insurance coverage helps many individuals afford health care services but is also VERY confusing. The last thing you need is to find out the insurance you’ve selected doesn’t cover the treatments and providers you need, especially when you need it most. If you don’t have employer provided insurance, discussing your needs with individuals familiar with the available plans is worth the time, especially since they can change each year.
Insurance Plans & Resources
The types of coverage available to you will differ depending on your age, income, and care needs.

Individual Marketplace
Individual Marketplace plans, also known as Exchange or ACA Marketplace plans, are health insurance plans purchased on your own, outside of an employer's group plan. These plans are available through the Health Insurance Marketplace (a government-operated website like HealthCare.gov) or state-run Marketplaces, where you can compare options, apply for coverage, and potentially qualify for subsidies like premium tax credits to lower your monthly costs.
