We work directly with all of the top-rated companies so you can be assured of always comparing the top plans for the type of benefits you need.

The  Southwestern portion of the state also features large provider networks.

Low-Cost Cincinnati Health Plans

For example, cheap high-deductible catastrophic coverage for a healthy 40-year old husband and wife in the Cincinnati area costs approximately $150-$200 per month. Molina, Medical Mutual, and Ambetter offer the most competitive rates. Comprehensive coverage costs approximately $230-$490 per month. CareSource also offers private individual coverage. Rates in Northern Ohio, for similar coverage, are approximately 15%-20% higher. Note: Rates are based on a household income of $35,000. Higher or lower incomes will impact the amount of federal subsidy.

If minimizing the rate, and tax-deducting medical expenses is a major priority, then an HSA policy should be considered. There are several plans that will be easy on your pocketbook, offering rates that are typically less expensive than most Silver-tier options. And by taking advantage of local Network providers, you’ll further reduce your costs. This link provides additional HSA information.

Several factors can affect rates, such as your age, county of residence, and smoking status. The type of plan you choose will also impact the price. For example, a low-deductible plan with maximum out-of-pocket expenses less than $3,000 will cost much more than a higher-deductible plan with maximum out-of-pocket expenses higher than $7,000.

Perhaps one the most overlooked factors that is used in determining your rate is your zip code. In the past, the 452 zip code featured extremely attractive rates from Medical Mutual, especially their Health Savings Accounts. Oddly, in the 451 zip code, UnitedHealthcare’s rates became quite high compared to their normal rates in the surrounding area.
