Although the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) provides low-cost health insurance to millions of Americans, the ACA is also unaffordable to millions of other Americans. Premiums are high, deductibles can reach $8,700, and your physicians and specialists may not be "in-network." Cost-sharing programs, temporary plans, indemnity coverage, and other medical plans provide numerous additional options for individuals and families needing low-cost coverage. Self-employed persons and small business owners also have several budget-friendly options.
For non-Seniors that are not yet eligible for Medicare, the under-65 Open Enrollment period begins November 1 and ends December 15th. During this time, guaranteed coverage is available with pre-existing conditions covered, and a financial subsidy offered to applicants that qualify. Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Catastrophic-tier Marketplace plans can be purchased. Note: Several states operate their own Exchanges and the Open Enrollment period is extended. Additional extensions are often provided for pandemics (COVID for example).
There are many reasons why Exchange plans are not chosen. Missing the Open Enrollment deadline is a very common reason, but many persons also prefer a less expensive alternative that provides major medical benefits from a reputable carrier. Also, maternity, mental illness, and pediatric dental benefits are often not needed or required. Several states only offer a limited number of carriers in selected counties, and in many other states, specific areas may not offer PPO options (EPO and HMO plans are offered instead). Also, many consumers utilize non-network providers and may not be able to take advantage of traditional network discounts.
Many of the most popular and suitable Obamacare alternatives are described below. Each option may not be available in every state, prices can vary, and specific benefits may differ. Medical underwriting may be required, and it is possible that an application for coverage will be rejected. Affordable healthcare for self-employed persons is sometimes found in the plan options described below.
Short-Term Health Insurance
Temporary plans provide low-cost medical coverage that can be approved within 24-48 hours. Available in all states except California, Hawaii, Colorado, New Mexico, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Maine, plans are generally issued from 3 months to 36 months. Although pre-existing conditions are not covered, up to $2 million of coverage is generally available, and plans can be approved within 24 hours. Underwriting is simplified and limited questions are asked. Many policies can be renewed for an additional term.
Policies can be purchased at anytime throughout the year, regardless whether an Open enrollment period has started or ended. Enrollment applications are very short and basic, and can be completed in less than 25 minutes. Benefits can begin the next day when a payment is submitted with the application. Persons between jobs or just graduated, and others seeking more affordable options than Marketplace plans are frequent applicants. Healthy persons within 6-12 months of Medicare-eligibility that don't qualify for a federal subsidy also may be candidates for a short-term plan.
Temporary contracts are not Affordable Care Act-compliant, and should be reviewed for all exclusions and limitations. Essential Health benefits are mostly covered (office visits, prescriptions, emergency room visits, hospitalization...), although a deductible, coinsurance, and copayment may apply. Federal instant tax credits are not available, and benefits will cease when the plan duration has expired. Maternity and mental illness benefits may be limited or excluded. Preventative coverage, unlike Marketplace plans, may not be covered at 100%.
You may re-apply for additional coverage when a ST plan expires. However, a new application is required, and medical underwriting must be completed. A new deductible period will begin along with maximum out-of-pocket expense limits. The applicant may choose different benefits than the previous policy. It's possible that the prior plan may change, and the new rate and benefits may be different or no longer available.

Christian Health Insurance (Health Sharing) Plans
Christian medical plans have became more popular after the ACA Legislation was passed. Premiums are slightly lower than non-subsidized plans, and like short-term policies, applications are accepted any time throughout the year. As medical costs continue to rise, health care sharing ministries have begun to appeal to many Americans. Dependents and children can be covered along with the principal insured. It is possible for different family members to be covered under an unsubsidized Marketplace plan and a Ministry plan.
More than one million persons in about 30 states are covered through these types of plans. There are more than 100 registered ministries, although only several are currently accepting new members. They are not considered to be "qualified" insurance, and the companies that issue the policies are not insurance carriers. Thus, there is no regulation by the State Departments of Insurance (in most states).
There are also no medical membership premiums. Instead, members share the cost of other member expenses by paying a per-determined fee, which is sometimes discounted per member for larger families. The fee is not tax-deductible and prices are higher for older applicants. Larger families often receive a discount.
Although standard health insurance plans (Marketplace, Off-Exchange, and Group) utilize provider networks that offer substantial discounts, Christian Sharing plans often allow their customers to visit any physician, medical facility, or hospital. The Ministry negotiates the amount of the discount, and also pays the outstanding bill. Some PPO network options are offered, depending on the carrier.
The Risk Of Purchasing Christian Health Sharing Plans
Many of the provided benefits may have coverage limits. Conditions that utilize long-term treatment, therapy, and medications may result in substantial out-of-pocket expenses that exceed the policy maximum. These types of contracts are unregulated, so there are no reserve requirements. In several states, the sale of Ministry plans have been halted, and new applications are not allowed to be submitted. Prior investigations have resulted in Aliera to cease offering plans in several states.
Will your medical bills be paid? There is no guarantee that there will be adequate funds to "share," although the larger Ministries are more financially stable. There are also no legal protections to ensure that expenses are paid. For example, if an MRI is not paid because it does meet the policy guidelines, the providers who performed the service will undoubtedly request that you pay the outstanding bill.
Although there is no "ideal candidate" for these types of plans, healthy young persons with no pre-existing conditions will pay low premiums. However, if they are eligible for federal subsidies, a Marketplace policy should be selected. A lifestyle that meets Ministry guidelines will be needed, which means no nicotine usage and little or no alcohol consumption. Consistent attendance of church services may also be required.
A "Belief Statement" typically must be signed with all conditions met. Since it is a non-insurance product, State Insurance Commissions can not enforce or regulate the terms and conditions. The policy can also be terminated by the Ministry with limited prior notification.

Limited Benefit Indemnity Insurance
A fixed amount of money is paid for specific medical diseases and illnesses. Depending on the severity and duration of the event, there may be insufficient coverage to pay all medical expenses. And although some incidents may be fully covered, others could result in large out-of-pocket expenses.
Generally, there are no deductibles or coinsurance to meet, and policy rates are determined by the level of benefits paid, your age, and state of residency. Unlike Health Ministry plans, limited benefit indemnity policies are considered as insurance and are regulated. However, they are not subject to Obamacare mandates, and thus, all "essential health benefits" are not included.
Often the biggest gaps in coverage are inpatient care and inpatient hospitalization benefits. Plans are mostly purchased outside of the Marketplace Open Enrollment periods, and when Group medical coverage is too expensive for individuals and families.

Direct Primary Care
Direct Primary Care has been offered for approximately 15 years. The typical customer does not qualify for a federal subsidy on Marketplace plans, and is seeking basic medical care for themselves and their family. The patient and provider agree on which benefits will be provided and the cost of these services. An insurance company is not involved in the process.
A monthly fee is generally charged for coverage, and many customers utilize an HSA (Health Savings Account) with the required High Deductible Health Plan for their major medical benefits. Qualified health, dental, and vision expenses can be paid with pre-tax dollars through the HSA.
Although primary care physician visits are covered by plans, typically, urgent care, emergency room, and specialty visits are not part of the program. However, a discount may be available if the provider is in the HDHP's carrier network.

Medical Services Discount Cards
A Medical Services Discount Card allow the consumer to purchase healthcare services for a reduced cost. The coverage is not considered health insurance and does not meet ACA guidelines and mandates. The discounted fee-for-service benefits can be combined with other policies, but can leave large coverage gaps when chronic conditions are present.
Participating providers can be viewed through online links, although verification by phone is highly recommended. ID cards are typically sent within 7-10 days of the completed enrollment, and a description of benefits is also provided.
Prescription discounts will greatly vary, and your local pharmacy can calculate the savings. Immediate family members are generally included on the policy and can use RX and other discounts.
Also available are prescription (only) discount cards that provide reductions for medications, but not other services. Although several cards have small fees, most cards are free.
Although the actual amount of savings will vary, the average discount percentage for selected categories are listed below:
Alternative Medicine -- 15%-25%. Massage therapy and acupuncture included.
Chiropractic Care -- 18%-35%.
Dental Treatment -- 10%-40%. Orthodontia and emergency treatment reductions will be lower.
Diabetes Care -- 35%-60% for supplies.
Hearing Aids -- 10%-20%. Not all brands eligible for reduction.
Nutrition Supplements -- 20%-40%.
Podiatry Benefits -- 25%-50%. Many foot-related items and services.
Prescription Drugs -- 15%-60%. Specialty drugs may not receive a reduction.
Vision Treatment -- 10%-50%. Glasses, contacts, and routine eye visits are the most common coverage.
Vitamins -- 20%-40%. Many brands available.
The cost of Medical Services Discount Card coverage will vary, depending upon the company providing the service. Estimated monthly rates are below:
$8-$12 -- Basic benefits with drug, dental, and vision coverage.
$15-$18 -- Basic benefits with drug, dental, and vision coverage. Hearing coverage and a 24-hour nurse hotline are often included. Diabetic and chiropractic coverage may also be included.
$20-$25 -- All benefits from the prior two plans with office visits and hospitalization coverage. Strict limits will apply with high out-of-pocket costs likely with serious illnesses and accidents or a chronic illness.
