Your Individual, Family, and Small Business Plan Finder
With Individual and Family Plans (IFP), you have the option to select the coverage, premium and deductible levels that best fit your needs and budget. These plans provide flexibility, allowing you to select coverage that suits you and your family. Plans may include a wide range of benefits, such as hospitalization, doctor visits, preventive care, and prescription drug coverage.
Small and Medium-sized Business Plans (SMB) are designed to provide healthcare coverage for smaller businesses. These plans offer the advantage of group coverage, potentially resulting in cost savings on premiums and administrative expenses. Many SMB plans include an employer contribution toward employees’ premiums, making healthcare coverage more accessible. The range of coverage options allows businesses to choose plans that align with their employees’ healthcare needs, and some plans may even offer health and wellness programs to promote a healthy workforce.
