Kansas Health Insurance Association (KHIA)is but one of the state-sponsored options available for those seeking coverage here. If you have resided in Kansas for six or more months and/or are eligible for HIPAA, you can qualify to receive coverage from KHIA. You must be considered uninsurable if you've been turned down twice by other insurers, and if you have a pre-existing condition that is excluded from other health insurance plans. State risk pools usually are not cheap and should be considered a last resort. Kansas Medicaid is also available to anyone who qualifies for it. There is also health insurance for children under 19 years whose families don't qualify for other insurance. This insurance is called HealthWave. These are just a few of the alternatives available for Kansas residents.
If you do not qualify for the low-cost/no-cost health insurance alternatives, you might have to consider a high-deductible/health plan. These are not cushy plans. If you have a health emergency, you will have to pay a high deductible before a coverage kicks in. Before you purchase one, you should try to set up a either a flexible spending account, a health savings account or a health reimbursement account so that you reap whatever tax benefits are available to you for footing the bill for your own insurance.
