Private Health Insurance (Off-Exchange)

What it is: Plans purchased outside the marketplace.

Best for: Higher-income households that don’t qualify for subsidies, or anyone prioritizing specific provider networks, benefits, or brand.

Why some Boise clients choose private plans:

• Access to preferred hospitals/clinics or multi-state networks.
• Different benefit designs (e.g., lower copays on routine care).
• Flexible add-ons (dental/vision, accident, critical illness).

Healthshare Alternatives (Lower Monthly Cost)

Healthshare is not insurance—it’s a cost-sharing membership with guidelines.

Best for: Healthy households focused on lower monthly costs, comfortable with member guidelines, and wanting a back-up for unexpected large bills.

We’ll explain clearly:

- How sharing works (and where it does not work).

- Typical monthly contributions vs. com parable insurance premiums.

- Pre-existing and waiting period rules.

- When a Healthshare makes sense—and when you should pick ACA or private instead
