Off-Exchange Health Plans
About Off-Exchange Health Insurance Plans
Off-exchange health insurance plans are comprehensive health coverage options purchased directly from insurance companies or through independent brokers, rather than through the government-run Health Insurance Marketplace. These plans offer flexibility and can be an excellent option for those who don’t qualify for marketplace subsidies.
