Private & Alternative Health Plans

These plans may be appealing for individuals who are self-employed, between jobs, or seeking lower monthly premiums. However, coverage levels, benefits, and protections can vary widely. Learn how these options compare to traditional health insurance, what eligibility requirements may apply, and what to watch out for when considering alternatives.
