There are several reasons you might need short term health insurance coverage in Ohio. Most often, it’s simply to fill in a small gap before permanent coverage begins a few months later. Other times, it’s used as a less expensive alternative to ACA plans. Either way, we can help.

Depending on your needs, short term plans can be purchased for a maximum of 12 months. You can renew for another 12 month window should you be able to pass medical underwriting. It’s important to note that short term plans are not ACA compliant and will not avoid the Obamacare penalty. You are allowed to have short term coverage for a maximum of 3 months so long as you have compliant coverage the other 9 months of the year. Otherwise, you may face a penalty.

The penalty is slated to go away in 2019, but may still be assessed in 2018. Several new hardship provisions have been added, however. This may make it easier for some to wriggle out of the penalty while keeping a more flexible short term insurance plan in-force.

It’s important to know that losing short term health insurance is not considered a qualifying life event here in Ohio. If you are outside of the Open Enrollment window, you will need proof of a QLE in order to purchase permanent coverage. Moving from one state to another is considered a QLE, but your coverage may not start right away. A short term plan can fill in any gaps you may encounter.

We help both small and large groups compare and purchase group health insurance for their employees. We also help with ancillary coverage like dental, vision, life and disability.

The Affordable Care Act requires all companies with 50 or more full-time employees to offer comprehensive health insurance. There is a lot to navigate with this ever-changing law. Whether it’s penalties, tax-credits, the Cadillac tax or or employer mandates, our experts will help your group find affordable coverage while remaining in compliance with the ACA.

There are several ways to lower and reduce any penalties your group might face for not providing health insurance. We help our clients find plans that can avoid all ACA penalties – or just the largest ones. Group health insurance can be expensive, but there are several ways to reduce this burden. We can help you explore self-funded plans, secondary payer coverage, HSA and HRA plans, Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangement (MEWA) policies and several other strategies to keep your insurance affordable.

Health Savings Accounts are tax-favored savings accounts that can be coupled with high deductible health insurance policies. These plans are referred to as HSAs and they are only offered with certain qualified plans in the individual and group markets. Having a high deductible does not necessarily mean your plan is HSA qualified.

HSA qualified plans are gaining in popularity in Ohio due to their tax advantages and low premiums. In fact, HSA plans offer some of the lowest premiums in the state for those who simply want to be avoid penalties. Additionally, all HSA plans include preventive care that is not subject to the deductible.

The money deposited into a HSA grows tax deferred and can be withdrawn tax-free for qualified medical expenses such as meeting the deductible, paying for prescriptions, covering a doctor’s office visit or a number of other qualified expenses. The unused funds grow tax-deferred and can be spent on future medical claims.

The insured always has access to all accumulated funds even if the insurance is later cancelled. In no way will the insurance company ever keep your HSA contributions. They belong to you and are invested in a private account of your choosing. All insurance companies offer HSA plans in Ohio.
