Health Plan Options
The IHC Group

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) open enrollment for 2019 will likely be different for you than any of the previous year’s open enrollment period. With the return of longer duration short-term medical (STM) policies in many states, options for consumers and producers could be different than they were in 2018. We want to give you the tools to succeed this open enrollment. Keep reading to find out more. 

STM Duration Update
Effective now in states that allow, you will be able to quote and enroll longer duration STM policies. Click below to view individual state rules as they stand. Please keep in mind that these states may still be evaluating the new legislation. As we continue to get updates, we will provide them through the IHC producer portal.

COMING SOON! Supplemental Hospital Insurance
Supplemental Hospital Insurance is designed to supplement short-term medical (STM) insurance or Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant major medical coverage. It pays fixed first-dollar benefits for a range of covered medical expenses which may result from an inpatient hospital stay. With two plans to choose from and an optional buy up package, Supplemental Hospital Insurance allows for flexibility with various benefit levels and monthly premiums to meet your client’s needs. Resources are below to view and download.
