LIMITED BENEFIT MEDICAL PLANS
Affordable plans with optional zero deductible and basic limited coverage with optional preventive benefits, optional critical illness supplement and optional dental. Limited Benefit plans are not ACA qualified, but can be purchased any time during the year. These plans are not considered catastrophic coverage and may leave you with substantial out of pocket expenses depending on the medical event/service.
Nonetheless, these plans are better than no coverage, give access to network discounts, and can offset a substantial portion of medical expenses. These plans also do not expire like a short-term plan and can be kept indefinitely as well as a supplement to a regular medical plan.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!

LOWEST COST BASIC PROTECTION
If you need bare-bones protection in the event of an unexpected accidental injury, consider a Supplemental Accident Plan. With rates starting under $30 per month for Accident insurance, you can also add additional protection against Critical Illness and other Sickness. These plans can pay you cash benefits even if you do not have traditional health insurance. Many of these plans are Guaranteed Issued, which means you don't have to pass medical underwriting, and they are available all year. Also strongly recommended to supplement your existing medical insurance and serve as "Gap Coverage" for high deductible plans..
