How do I get health insurance coverage for my family?

Finding affordable family health insurance plans

Start by investigating group health insurance plans, which can offer more affordable health insurance coverage for families. See if your employer offers group health insurance – ask about both individual health insurance and family health insurance plans.

If you recently left your job, ask about COBRA health insurance, which is a temporary health insurance option. Or, if you are on a limited income, check to see if you qualify for federal health insurance.

Is a member of your family a full-time college student? They may qualify for student health insurance. If none of these group health insurance options work for you, pursue purchasing a private health insurance policy.

Ask a health insurance agent or health insurance broker to help you find health insurance companies in your area and to provide information on the types of health insurance plans and free health insurance quotes. You can also compare free quotes online.

To find the best health insurance for you, compare multiple providers and plans.
