Whether you are a student, recent graduate, early retiree, working without health insurance or between jobs, there is an Ohio individual health insurance plan available to suit your needs.

Health Care Plans - Indemnity, Managed and HSAs

You can choose from indemnity and managed health care plans. While indemnity plans offer a greater choice of health care providers, you have to pay up front and the insurance company pays its share later. In managed-care plans, the health insurance company networks with selected health care providers to provide services at fixed rates. These include HMO (Health Maintenance Organization), PPO (Preferred Provider Organization), and POS (Point of Service) plans. The health care provider submits the claim directly to the insurance company and the insured person has less paperwork and lower out-of-pocket costs with managed care.

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) help individuals pay for current medical expenses and save for future qualified medical costs on a tax-free basis. A HSA is used along with a High Deductible Health Plan' (HDHP). It could be an HMO, PPO or indemnity plan, as long as it meets the necessary conditions. To qualify for a HSA you must be covered by a HSA-qualified HDHP.
