Health Insurance Options For Volunteers
Affordable Care Act (ACA) Plans
One option nannies have is an individual or family plan. These are also known as Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant plans. You can get these plans through government exchanges or through brokers. Brokers like Apollo can help you navigate your options for no extra cost and find the plan that suits your needs.
You can enroll in individual and family health insurance plans during the open enrollment period, which typically runs from November 1st through December 15th each year in most states for health insurance plans starting on January 1st of the following year. However, some states have permanently extended open enrollment. These states have permanently extended their open enrollment period from November 1st through January 15th of the following year.
Short Term Plans
Short-term health insurance is an ideal solution for those who can’t foot the costs of ACA health insurance premiums, or are transitioning between jobs and need a reliable coverage option. It’s also especially beneficial to those with pre-existing medical conditions who may not qualify for traditional plans. Apollo provides an easy way to get started on acquiring short-term health insurance. These plans offer low costs and some degree of coverage, yet they don’t come close to the comprehensive protection that ACA compliant policies provide. The key advantage of short-term health insurance is its ability to bridge gaps in coverage; however, it’s important to note the limitations of these policies and be mindful when shopping around for the best plan that fits your needs. While cheap, short-term policies offer essential help for certain individuals, they may not always be suitable for those who require extensive protection from their insurance provider. It’s essential to evaluate your current healthcare situation and determine which type of policy will suit you best and ensure you have adequate coverage at all times.
Health Sharing Plans
Healthcare sharing plans offer individuals and families an exciting alternative to traditional health insurance. A healthcare sharing plan is a not-for-profit organization that provides members with various healthcare benefits, including access to medical services, prescription drug coverage, hospitalization coverage and more. Health Sharing Plans are very different from traditional health insurance legally; however, they can be just as beneficial in helping individuals obtain the medical care they need. While there may be waiting periods for pre-existing conditions on some plans, the benefits typically make up for it. In many cases, Health Sharing Plans could provide members with lower premiums and higher quality service than what they would get from a traditional health insurer. Additionally, there is usually a wide range of options available when choosing an appropriate healthcare sharing plan, which increases the likelihood of finding one that fits both your needs and budget. Whether you’re looking for a great way to save money on medical costs or simply want access to more affordable healthcare services, healthcare sharing plans offer an exciting opportunity to do so.
Basics of Health Insurance
Individual health insurance plans all fall into one of these 4 networks listed below:
Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs)
A HMO is an excellent choice for those looking for comprehensive healthcare coverage that won’t break the bank. With this type of plan, you will be required to select a primary care provider who will be responsible for managing most of your medical needs. When it comes time to see a specialist, your primary care physician will provide you with a referral from within your network. This way, you’re able to get the quality care you need without having to worry about overspending. Additionally, an HMO gives you access to a wide range of board-certified doctors and specialists that are highly skilled in their respective fields, ensuring that you receive top-notch medical treatment whenever needed. Not only does this help ensure your safety and wellbeing, but it also allows you peace of mind knowing that if something unexpected were to happen, there are plenty of qualified providers available who can assist you with all of your medical needs.
Exclusive Provider Organizations (EPOs)
EPOs can be a great solution for those looking for access to a wide selection of medical providers and specialists. These plans provide a comprehensive network of doctors, specialists, and other medical professionals that can vary in size depending on the plan you choose. While the services of an out-of-network health care provider may not be covered by your plan, EPOs offer the convenience of not needing a primary care physician or referral from one to visit a specialist. This allows you to get the care you need without having to jump through hoops or endure long wait times for referrals. Additionally, many EPOs are designed with more lenient preauthorization requirements than other traditional plans, meaning fewer obstacles when it comes to getting tests and procedures done in a timely manner. With an Exclusive Provider Organization, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that you have access to quality healthcare backed by reliable coverage options.
Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs)
PPOs tend to provide a more expansive care network than EPOs and HMOs, which can be beneficial for those looking for more options when it comes to their healthcare needs. They also do not require patients to have a primary care provider or referral in order to visit a specialist – giving them greater freedom in choosing the right medical professional. However, this added convenience comes at a cost; PPOs typically offer higher premiums than other plans, making them more expensive overall. While there are often higher fees associated with out-of-network care under PPOs, they still allow patients the opportunity to seek specialist services if needed. This is especially useful for those who require a particular type of medical expertise that may not be available through their insurance network. In sum, PPOs offer increased flexibility and greater access to healthcare providers overall – but this added convenience comes at an additional cost.

Point-of-Service Plans (POS)
POS plans are an attractive hybrid of HMO and PPO plans that offer affordable premiums while still providing access to quality healthcare. With these plans, you’ll have a designated primary care physician who will provide referrals to specialists if needed. However, you also have the option to receive care from an out-of-network specialist at an added cost. This can be a more expensive option than relying on your plan’s network, but it provides additional flexibility and choice when selecting your provider. Furthermore, POS plans generally have smaller networks than PPOs, meaning there is less of a range of doctors and facilities available through them. However, there is still access to reputable healthcare professionals and facilities in the network that can help you get the care you need.
