BASIC Health Solutions – Actually Affordable

BASIC health for individuals and families available year-round

Let us help you find more affordable BASIC health insurance solutions designed to expand your coverage and help bridge the gaps in your traditional comprehensive major medical plan (such as surprise out-of-pocket costs for deductibles, copays and coinsurance) under the Affordable Care Act.

BASIC health plans are available to you any time of the year – enroll even outside the federal mandated enrollment periods for major medical ACA plans.  BASIC health plans are approved in most states and come with many benefit options to choose from.  Check out our selected plans brought to you for self-enrollment by the Dealer Benefits Program for Authorized U-Haul Dealers.

Your BASIC health plan options approved in most states now include:

“BASIC Benefit” Health — selected insurance plans approved in certain states and available year-round from Golden Rule that provide more Basic or limited coverage for hospital, physician and medical than full comprehensive coverage plans, so they cost less.  Go to the orange enroll button.

These include:

    • Tri-Term Medical plans that provide 3 years of uninterrupted coverage (available in AL, AR, AZ, FL, GA, IA, IN, KY, LA, MO, MS, NE, and TN),

These basic plans are not for everyone, especially if you depend on health care for pre-existing conditions.  But they may be a better fit for the benefits you actually need and for your budget, especially if your household income level prevents you from qualifying for premium tax credits.

BASIC health plan benefits, coverage provisions, rates and availability vary by state.  Generally, you must be 18-64 years of age to be eligible.  Click to find out if these new, more affordable plans are approved in your state so you can enroll.
