How and when is an Individual Family Plan (IFP) needed?

Individual and family health insurance plans, often available through the Health Insurance Marketplace, are designed for those who don't have access to health coverage through an employer or government program. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace offers a variety of plans, and many individuals and families may qualify for subsidies to help lower their monthly premiums. Compare plan costs and consider factors like premiums, deductibles, and co-pays to find a plan that fits your budget.

Here are some of the breakdowns of who might benefit from these plans:

• Entrepreneurs, freelancers, and independent contractors typically need to secure their own health insurance.
• If your employer doesn't offer health benefits, or if you're between jobs, these plans provide essential coverage.
• Individuals who retire before they're eligible for Medicare (age 65) may need to purchase individual or family plans.
• Those Who Don't Qualify for Government Programs: While programs like Medicaid and Medicare exist, not everyone meets the eligibility requirements. Individual plans can fill the gap.
• Families: These plans can cover spouses and dependent children, offering comprehensive health coverage for the entire family.
• People who have aged out of their parents insurance: Once a person turns 26, they are generally removed from their parents health insurance. This makes it so they need to find their own health insurance coverage. When deciding on health insurance, it is always a good idea to research all available options, and if needed, consult with a health insurance professional.
