Idaho Health Insurance (ID)
Idaho Health Insurance is there to make sure that you and your family have appropriate health care coverage. They offer a number of different programs that are designed for people of all ages in all stages of their lives.
Idaho Health Insurance offers a special program for people working in small businesses called Access to Health Insurance. This is a premium assistance program that makes health insurance more affordable for employees of qualified small businesses.
The Idaho Health Insurance Access plan provides premium assistance of up to $100 per month per person to qualified employees, their spouses, and their minor children, with a maximum premium assistance of $500 per month, per family.
Access to Health Insurance is not a health insurance plan; it is a way to help pay for health insurance.
When you buy private health insurance in Idaho, insurers are allowed to turn down your application based on your health. However, if you had at least 18 months of continuous creditable coverage, the last day of which was under a group plan and you have used up all COBRA coverage, you may qualify for a HIPAA. People who are HIPAA-eligible are guaranteed the right to buy an individual health policy by Idaho Health Insurance.
