Ohio Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) should also be considered to reduce premiums. An HSA is an alternative to traditional health coverage that allows consumers to pay for current health expenses on a tax-free basis.

For applicants that have major health problems, or have been denied health insurance coverage by more than one company, you may be eligible for coverage through the Ohio Department of Insurance. Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) offer an alternative to traditional coverage. HMOs accept individuals during their “Open Enrollment Period” regardless of any pre-existing condition. However, recently the program has become unavailable due to the large volume of Ohioans applying for coverage.
